Do you know these gregorian litanies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus?

    I know one gregorian musical setting for the litanies of the Sarcred Heart of Jesus, the one of the book Cantus Selecti, no. 77 (picture attached).

    But I discoverd another melody on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvcgjAMqUqA

    Do you know where it comes from? Where I could find the music score?
    Thanks for any hint.

    I have not come across it.

    However, the melody is familiar to me from the Cantuale Romano-Seraphicum (1951), where it is used for the Litany of the Holy Name, p. 84.

    In the notes about this chant, p. 384, the editor says "Melodia partim ex libris Solesmensibus, partim nova."

    So, somewhere in a Solesmes edition there is something that uses this melody, but I have not yet found it.

    I would like to! - I am collecting all the Solesmes litanies I can find.
