    [explanatory note: between the end of the Alleluia and the Gospel and between the sermon and the Credo, I'm supposed to play short snippets of music. Today we celebrated the External Solemnity of Our Lady of Victory]

    Does anyone know of Latin settings of either The Seven Joys of Mary and/or I Saw Three Ships, whose melodies I used during the course of Mass today?

    Are you asking because you're in trouble for playing English melodies at the wrong time of Mass?

    No, I'm not in trouble.
    Our visiting priest gave us a history lesson on Our Lady of Victory, and I was inspired to improvise on I saw three ships, but it would have been fun to sing such a text.

    FWIW Wikipedia connects The Seven Joys of Mary to The Seven Joys of the Virgin and refers that back to medieval tropes which it does not identify.
