A cantatorium is a collection of chants for the Mass and solo pieces for the Liturgy of the Word with simple congregational responses of graduals, alleluias, tracts or cantica.
Cantatorium was also referred to as the book for the soloist who sings gradual and alleluia at the ambo and its function was described by the oldest Ordo, Ordo romanus, as follows: "After the subdeacon has read the Epistle, the cantor ascends to the ambo with his Cantatorium and performs the responsory." It is noted that this definition did not include a description of its contents. Amalarius, in his De ordine antiphhonarii, explained that in Gaul, Cantatorium was called "gradual".
