Breviary + Audio

    I'm looking for a good combination of breviary and audio to use for my daily prayer routine.

    Breviary: Latin or English would work. Doesn't matter, pre-or-post Vatican II. Music notation must be included.

    Audio: Not just files of the different chants. Must be a recording of the whole prayer. Lauds and vespers would be enough.

    So far, I've only found: Monks of Norcia podcast + 1934 Antiphonale Monasticum.

    What else is out there?

    I've found another podcast, this one from Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux. I haven't checked, but it sounds like the same 1934 Antiphonale Monasticum used for the Norcia podcast.

    Unfortunately Nursia and Le Barroux are the only two I'm aware of either. They both sing the Benedictine Office, so yeah, should be the same as the 1934 AM. If you do find any more sites like these though, let us know! If you ever want a really quick way to access their recordings I wrote a little program once in Python that goes and checks their websites for the most recent uploads and will play their mp3s in a browser for you if you want. It's pretty bare-bones interface, since I'm not a very good programmer, but I just keep the .exe on my desktop and it's a little less tedious than looking for them in my bookmarks (which are numerous) every time I want to hear monks singing the Divine Office (which is not infrequently!). I think it should work on any Windows machine.

    Try the monks at Barroux. They put their breviary online in latin and French.

    Buy Les Heures Grégoriennes. Latin-French, the modern LOTH but all the musical notation is present, for the daytime hours: Lauds, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, Compline. You can also buy a CD that includes the chanting of the first strophes of all the hymns, all the antiphons and the first verse of the psalms or canticles, the responsories, the common tones, the whole works. Expensive but worth it and it will last a lifetime. If you need English to aid comprehension just put your English LOTH or Christian Prayer alongside.

    I'm an oblate and use it for my daily prayer (much easier than a monastic Office). I use Liturgia Horarum chanted recto-tono for Vigils/Office of Readings (how it's done in most monasteries in any case for Vigils).

    The CD isn't the whole prayer, but it should make praying it accessible. Finding the whole prayer is going to be tough unless it's a live broadcast every day. To record the whole Office with saints, seasons, etc. would be quite a task.
