I was just asked to accompany First vespers for Immaculate Conception, I've never done this before, does anyone have organ sheet music for this somewhere I can use? I'm not very versed in accompanying psalm verses in such manner...
But in the 1962 rubrics, 1st Vespers of the Immaculate Conception is only a commemoration at 2nd Vespers of the Sunday this year, right? (not saying that OP is following 1962 rubrics, I'm mostly asking for myself)
Indeed the 1962 rubrics specify II Advent, but it’s completely bonkers because the Sunday loses out due to a special privilege in occurrence. Gregory DiPippo strongly wants to return to no privilege and in concurrence celebrating Sunday (and in Lent too for Mar 19, 25, or local I class feasts) but: it is less bad when you pray the full office to occasionally follow the normal rules for I Vespers; the 1960 just entirely zapped out of existence Saints Andrew and Thomas this year; Gregory is in a minority for the Immaculate Conception since it introduces yet more confusion into the is it a holy day situation.
