    I'm looking for an organ accompaniment to the chant Crux fidelis. Don't worry, it's not for Good Friday... but for that reason I'm finding it hard to find one. There were a few promising leads in earlier posts here, but they all turned out to be dead links. Any suggestions?

    There's one on the Illuminare Publications website: http://illuminarepublications.com/downloads/organ-accompaniments/lumen-christi-gradual/good-friday.pdf

    I recall the on the Corpus Christie Watershed site there are many scans from older publications that have organ accp. to chant.

    I already checked those. Here was the problem: Crux Fidelis is normally sung on Good Friday, when the organ is shut off. Thus there was no need to provide an accompaniment, and in fact to do so might have been construed to be a near occasion of sin (tempting somebody to use the organ). The organ accompaniment books have NOTHING for GF.
