St. Therese is celebrated every year on October 3. As secondary patroness of France, her feast is celebrated in France on a Sunday around this date.
This mass was composed on the occasion of her canonization in 1925. If parts of the Mass adopt familiar themes along the centonisation process - as the offertory or the jubilus of Alleluia - other parts were written from scratch, from not always easy tunes, which makes execution of this mass rather challenging.
To facilitate the learning process, we propose sung versions of these pieces.

 Parmi les cinq pièces chantées qui composent une messe, le Graduel est
sans doute la plus ancienne. Une des preuves en est que les mélodies
des Graduels se situent toutes dans les modes authentiques – qui sont
les modes impairs (1,3, 5,7) – alors que les Alléluia, Offertoires,
Introits et les Communions possèdent déjà les huit modes de l'octoechos
au complet, signe de moindre antiquité.

 History
Hallelujahs or allelujas date back to the late fourth century. The following centuries saw their developpment, coinciding with a period of Byzantine influence in Rome.
Originally, the Hallelujah is an hebraic acclamation. Among Jews, it was used with a score of psalms called Alleluja psalms (104 to 106, 110 to 118, 134 to 135, 145 to 150). This acclamation was initially linked with the consideration of the wonders of the Lord, which makes it a cry of joy.

 Those tutorials contain some basic notions of gregorian chant, together with practical applications for choir singers.
It is an interesting and, to some extent, very useful pedagogical means. Yet a limited one. There is actually no better training into gregorian chant than a vivid, face to face interaction between teacher and pupil. Training sessions are thus the best option.
Meanwhile, watching these tutorials may help you improve your knowledge of gregorian chant.
