New puzzle: pre-reformation chant for the Litany of the Saints?

    I've been sent a copy of a page in a missal which apparently belonged to a priest. The text is easy enough to recognize: it's the litany of the saints. The tune, however, is not the one with which I am familiar from having sung the litany for the Easter Vigil (EF). I can barely make it out, since the photo I have would fit comfortably on 5x 8 paper. Does anyone know of an alternative melody?

    Probably not what you are looking for, but there is a Cantus Prolixior Litaniarum in the Processionale Monasticum, e.g. here.

    JonathanKK,

    You are correct that it's not the tune I have in front of me, but since I didn't know this resource existed in any format I could find or use, I'm very grateful to you for locating it for me.
