O virgo virginum: notation?

Felipe Gasper

Hi all,

Does anyone have notation (with some degree, perhaps, of historical authenticity) for this “extra” O antiphon?

Felipe Gasper

Meh, found it with a bit more searching:

Interesting.

The Antiphonale Romanum 1912 has it on p. [115] in the proper for other places, for December 18th, "In Expectatione Partus B. Mariae V."

It is also in the Processionale Monasticum, p. 246, for use in honor of Our Lady, in Advent. Looks like they hardly changed this to get the one in AR.

Also, come to think of it, I checked and there it was in Cantus Selecti, p. 111*, with ictus and all.

@jonathankk - thank you for the pointer to Cantus Selecti! :) This is a bit nicer for me than the others because this reading seems to “flow” from the same tradition as the LU editions.

The History of the 'extra' O Antiphons is described here, see page 483 onwards
http://www.theliturgicalyear.org/the-liturgical-year-pdf/The-Liturgical-Year-Volume-1-Advent.pdf

Music for all of the above Antiphons can be found here in the Augsberg Antiphonal c.1580, page 142 onwards,

If needed I will be happy to re-typeset the music (time permitting) from the Antiphonal in to modern chant notation (as found in the L.U.)
