Pointed prefaces for the "Collection of Masses of the BVM"

    The "Missal" volume of the Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary includes only the text of the prefaces. Can anyone direct me to chant settings of them? As the celebrant, I'm secure enough in my ability to sing the notated text, but not to wing it; and if someone has already pointed them, I'd rather not re-invent that wheel. Thanks for your help!

    Can't say I've seen a copy of this anywhere, but I could probably do them all and share if someone can get me the texts.

    Does anyone know whether ICEL plans to update the 1992 edition, along the lines of the Roman Missal retranslation?

    An edition with some updates was published by Liturgical Press in 2012.

    The Liturgical Press 2012 edition is the new ICEL translation.

    Yes, the Liturgical Press and Catholic Book Publishing Co. versions currently in print are the most recent, updated versions. The text of the orations has not changed but anything from the revised English translations of the Roman Missal has been updated. In my own opinion, the translations of the prayers were already much better than the old translation of the Roman Missal.
