    Are there any Gregorian or polyphonic settings of Judith's Canticle (Judith 16)?

    The latter half of it, from vs. 15 "Hymnum cantemus Domino", is the canticle sung at EF Lauds on Wednesdays. I believe this would have been introduced as part of Pius X's revisions to the psalter.

    @JonathanKK Thanks.
    Antiphonarium O.P. (Gillet), Dominican, 1933, p. 196 has the Domine magnus.

    The Tota pulchra es incorporates Judith 15:10 ("Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people.").

    Slightly off topic, is there an English translation set to the chant melody of Tota pulchra es? Something like the various settings of the Marian Antiphons, and even specifically, those in the Pius X hymnal. The Tota was part of the novena prior to the Immaculate Conception as observed by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary that I heard at Marylhurst College, in suburban Portland, and now closed.
