The Cantus 2020 Piano version now splits the Cantus into two spiral-bound volumes with durable plastic sheet covers. The sheet music is also expanded to fill an 8.5x11" page for ease of use.

Part 1 is the Psalms (front matter and #s 1-300). Part 2 is the Hymns and Service Music (#s 301-744 and end matter).

Recover our great Christian musical heritage!

Our affections are shaped and molded by the music we sing and hear.

Currently, the happy clappy Evangelical church is limited to a very small range of musical expression, and if our music does not train us to vigorously celebrate or to bitterly lament, how will we and our children be prepared when great victories or great tragedies confront us.

Will we have the right words come to our minds?

This piano accompaniment edition of the 2020 Cantus Christi includes some familar classics (A Mighty Fortress; And Can It Be; Holy, Holy, Holy; When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; etc.) and some memorable but sadly unknown compositions (St. Patrick's Breastplate; The Son of God Goes Forth to War) and over a hundred and twenty Psalms. "Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints."

This accompaniment edition is spiral bound and printed on 8.5 x11 paper and is designed specifically for worship.

Nice music, cheap binding

The music is well laid out in this two volume book but the binding isn’t strong enough to hold the weight of the pages which flop over on the music rack occasionally.

Love them!

We’re so glad to get these!

Perfect!

Great resource for family worship!

Cantus Christi Piano Edition

Every piano and every pianist needs one.

Wonderful!

I bought one for my grandmother and now my daughters each want one too!

Love it! Glad we were able to grab it while it was back in stock.

I’m so happy to have these two volumes of the piano version of the Cantus Christi! It makes the music so much more available to instrument players!
I do believe, however, it would be easier to navigate in a loose leaf format, even in two volumes. The spiral tends to make it a bit cumbersome to navigate.
I will take mine to an office supply to have them despiral and hole punch the pages for loose leaf, maybe even tape those edges so the holes hold.
I am none-the-less very happy to have this material and expect to get years of delight in its use!
