Latin Eastertide Antiphons

FKulash

For the psalms at Lauds and Vespers, Liturgia Horarum has antiphons for Eastertide that are different from the rest of the year, and it has proper Benedictus and Magnificat antiphons for each day. I can't find most of these in the Solesmes books. Are chant settings for these Latin antiphons available somewhere?

The antiphons for Lauds and Vespers for Eastertide can be found in Les Heures Grégoriens II, Carême & Temps Pascal (2008). LHG follows the most recent Ordo cantus officii (2015). For Sundays, all chants are in Antiphonale Romanum II (2009).

Basically, during Eastertide, all antiphons of the psalmody for Lauds and Vespers are Alleluia (in tonis diversis, you could choose your own from the available repertoire), except for the second (Lauds) and third (Vespers) antiphons, which are proper for each day according to a one week cycle:

Lauds, second antiphon:
Mon Ego sum Alpha et O
Tue Ierusalem, luce splendida
Wed De sub pede Agni, AM 1145
Thu Vincenti dabo ei
Fri Beati qui lavant, AM 949, GS 350
Sat Iterum videbo vos

Vespers, third antiphon:
Mon Ego si exaltatus, LHG 1258
Tue Creatura omnis
Wed Operuit caelos, LHG 1278
Thu Iesus Christus heri
Fri Fortitudo mea (different melody in LHG 1346)
