My church does Tenebrae on Good Friday every year. They combine responsories from the different days into the program. They do psalm chanting and the lamentations. The lamentations are done by a schola. I can’t find the right version of the chant. The verses are 2:1-3, 4:1-4, 5:1-22. I have found chants of the last two but they are very slightly different especially in the beginning and the end. Can anyone find some versions of this for me?
I have already checked off the Mozarabic and Legionensi settings. It has similarities to the Mozarabic. For example, the greek letter chants are the same and the first half of the opening line is the same. The opening line I mean, “De lamentatione”, that is the part that is the same. Do you know of anything like this?
