    I pulled this version of Jesu decus angelicum off of youtube. I cannot see where it is in the usual Roman chant books. Is this perhaps unique to a particular rite or use? What mode is this?

    This is a Dominican melody https://gregobase.selapa.net/chant.php?id=9564 It is recorded as being mode II. It is also very beautiful...

    A metrical version of this tune is usually published as AUCTORITATE SAECULI. The hymnal I'm looking at gives the attribution "French Church melody from Poitiers Antiphoner 1746"
