While preparing Solemn Mass for Saint Patrick's, I found out about the Liber Supplement 801 containing the Propers for the Dioceses of Ireland. Does anybody know the whereabouts of this, if it still exists? Or have most copies perished since the 70's?
(I'm in the process of getting dual citizenship with Ireland, since I'm eligible by virtue of family history; my hopeless search for this obscure chant collection is very much an extension of my being a budding Hibernophile.)
Arthur Connick did us a tremendous service in getting these files up and in getting as many supplements to the Liber as he could, via travel and I believe a personal collection.
I discovered those a few years ago, much to my delight (as someone with a bit of Irish ancestry and a great love of their music.) I found the orationes and readings in another source and put them together into one file, like a Missal page with translations — attaching, for those who would like to use it (or just read through it!) It's a delightful Mass — all the references are spot on. (I get the feeling someone had a good time compiling it...)
