Looking for "Dum fabricator mundi" and Litany of Tenebrae "Kyrie Qui passurus"

    Does anyone have the medieval chant "Dum fabricator mundi" or the Tenebrae "Kyrie Qui passurus"? I have this cd with them and I'd really like to use them with my schola.
  • This looks like the beginning of the Antiphon _Dum Fabricator_, for the Friday of Preparation, and you can go from there. It is in a slightly older notation.

    Just today I found a readable version of the Good Friday antiphon "Dum Fabricator", for use during the Adoration of the Cross, in the 1543 Missale Aniciensis Ecclesiæ, which is available online at Google Books. I have made a transcription of it as follows - there seem to be many clef changes, including within the word clamabat, which seems odd, but I have copied them as given:

    Very interesting!

    If you'd like to add some custodes inline at the clef changes to facilitate reading, I think the gabc notation is a "+" sign after the note position.

    The original source had no indication of mode - any ideas?

    Thanks to the last commenter above - I have checked the gabc notation details and (z0) will produce a custos before a clef change; also, the first note of each of the three words "mundi", "magna" and "spiritum" has on its left not a tail but an ascender, as if each were an upside down virga; as I can't work out how to notate that, I have instead put them in with the tail on the left.

    Here are both the rechecked and reset gabc file and the pdf file:

    I have also now transcribed the next antiphon, "O admirabile", as I understand from other sources that these two antiphons were often sung together - some (e.g. Premonstratensian sources) suggested that the antiphon "Dum fabricator" was followed by a verse, "O admirabile", but they seem to be separate antiphons. Again, no mode is indicated, and several clef changes occur.

    The "Kyrie Qui passurus" can be found in the Antiphonale Sarum, available at The Sarum Rite. Go to "Office", "Latin Breviary", "B: Temporale" and scroll down to "Triduum" (or just click this link).

    Josh, you seem to have typed the clef changing custos code wrong, since what you've typed does not produce the custos at the right note height. I think that, instead of "(z0:) (c4)" in the first instance you want to type "(z0:c4)". And, later on, when you type, for instance "(z0) (f4)" for a mid-bar clef change you should type "(z0f4)" ... if I'm not mistaken.

    Oh, I apologise - I assumed the code was correct without checking…

    Is this right?
