Printed accompaniment books
Each year, Source & Summit publishes accompaniment books to go with all the music in your missal. Accompaniment books are available in the following formats:
Hymns and Mass Settings: 3-hole punched packet
Responsorial Psalms and Alleluias: Perfect-bound or spiral-bound book
Entrance, Offertory, and Communion Antiphons: Perfect-bound or spiral-bound book
One set of all three volumes is available for free with every missal subscription (orders above 50 missals). If your missal subscription has already renewed for the year, you can claim your free set here: Claim Your Free Accompaniment Editions.

Pro Tip
Printed accompaniment books contain all the music you need for your missal program, but the Digital Platform allows you to customize your accompaniments by changing keys, adding or removing verses, modifying score formats, and more. Explore the articles under Using Source & Summit for more information.
Digital Support
All Missal subscriptions include access to the Source & Summit Digital Platform. That plan can be set up in one of two ways:
Basic Digital Add-On is free, provides access for a single user, and includes music selections that directly correspond to the contents of your print Source & Summit Missal.
Complete Digital Add-On (equivalent to the Standard Digital Plan) is an upgrade that offers unlimited access for multiple users and includes a comprehensive library of Antiphons, Responsorial Psalms, Alleluias, and over 500 hymns, as well as tools for choir role customization, and more.
Printed Missals
Source & Summit offers two missal editions: the Standard Edition and the Companion Edition. Both editions are softcover pew books published annually, integrating seamlessly with digital support tools to help you prepare every aspect of the liturgy.

FAQ
Am I eligible for free printed accompaniment books?
All missal subscribers (50+ copies) can claim one free set of accompaniment books each year.
How do I claim my free accompaniment books?
Accompaniment books are not automatically included with your missal order, they must be claimed separately.
Once your missal order or renewal is complete, you will be sent a landing page containing a link to your invoice. On that same page, you will see a link to Claim Your Free Accompaniment Books. Click the link and follow the instructions to choose your accompaniment books and specify your binding preferences.
If you’ve already placed your renewal for the year, you can claim your free set here: Claim Your Free Accompaniment Editions.
How do I order more accompaniment books?
If you’d like more than one set of accompaniment books, you can purchase additional copies in the Source & Summit Store.
Are choir editions available?
Yes! Accompaniments are written in SATB format, which can be used by choirs and instrumentalists alike.
Do missal covers come with my subscription?
Since they can be reused each year, missal covers are not considered a part of a recurring annual missal subscription. Purchase your missal covers separately from the Source & Summit Store.
