English Propers for Rorate Caeli Mass

acadia

Hello! A young pastor is planning a Rorate Caeli pre-dawn candlelit Mass for both the 15th and 22nd of December, the Saturday of the 2nd and 3rd week of Advent. He does not want Latin; he has requested English Propers (introit, gradual, alleluia, offertory and communion antiphons) for those Marian Votive Masses. Can anyone help me with that?

Many, many thanks MarkB!

I don’t think the graduals can be sung in English, can they? Absent an approved translation?

Resurrecting an old thread...does anyone have a musical setting of Luke 1:49; 46-55 with the antiphon "The almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name?"
The only settings I am finding are for the third Sunday of Advent, which has a different antiphon text. Thanks!

Probably could use some fine-tuning, but it's a start.
