    Hello, I plan to use the traditional Divine Office hymns (in English) with a small group of non-musicians. Organ accompaniment would be helpful, but I'm having trouble locating it. I've found an accompaniment for about a third of the traditional Office hymns in the Saint Dunston Hymnal. Where might I find accompaniments for the rest? Thank you.

    Hymns for Prayer and Praise, 1996, ISBN 1 85311 126 0, an English publication by the Panel of Monastic Musicians. Claims to have used the 1983 Liber Hymnarius as its starting point. Music is however deliberately very simple. Offers a chant tune and a four part harmony for each of about 260 hymns in English, for example the first is text Creator of the stars of night, to either Conditor alme siderum, or Saint Ambrose.
