    Hello, I am leading Vespers at my parish for our church rededication, and I'm wondering if anyone has organ accompaniment for the Gregorian hymn "Angularis Fundamentum."

    It's this hymn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbly-BbOIVU

    I do. It’s the same as Urbs Jerusalem beata (which should still be the hymn for Vespers in the NO unless the Liber Hymnarius did something really bad)

    Thanks, Matthew! Yes, it is the same in the NO.

    Aha. I asked only because the hymn incipit that you gave is the portion for Lauds which Neale repurposed as Christ is made the sure foundation (which we’re doing after Mass next week; we’ll save the chant for the office).

    In the Antiphonale Romanum II, it's the same hymn melody, actually.

    Right, the melody is the same for the two portions of the hymn; dividing a longer text is not uncommon in the Roman rite, although two separate hymns with different melodies a and even meters, or even 3 (Vespers, Matins, Lauds) is also pretty common.
