    It's a II* (IV A) tone antiphon used for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Aug. 15): as offertory (Graduale Simplex, p. 299) and as second antiphon of First Vespers (Liber Responsorialis, p. 374), according to the Ordo Cantus Officii. In the new Antiphonale Romanum by the way, the second antiphon of First Vespers is Paradisi porta per Evam.

    Here it's sung and played by Giovanni Vianini: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxJMZmO58B0

    And, again by Giovanni Vianini, from an unexpected location...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyi9Tjw2e6I

    I can't help you, it is not found in the old Antiphonale or Graduale.
