Chant music for new translation of Reproaches

    I was a little dismayed to open up the new Sacramentary today and discover that there is no music included for the chants during the "Adoration of the Holy Cross" during the Good Friday liturgy. Is there no longer an "official" vernacular chant melody for the Reproaches? Or, if there is, can anyone point me to a source?

    Honestly, since the rubrics for that part of the liturgy (#20) indicate "other suitable chants", I'm tempted to just continue using the current translation. The people here know it, and the current translation is certainly more lyrical, at least for the "My people" part. I do like the inclusion of the Greek, and I think I may be able to work it into the existing melody.

    Why don't you use the Gregorian Chant melody for the Trisagion? Or easier, just sing it in Greek and Latin. It's not that much.

    The question still stands...where did it go? and why?
    interesting. (I haven't seen it myself.)
