    • Reference: "Popule meus", Graduale Simplex, Good Friday, Veneration of the Cross, pp. 140–141
    • Source Text for Antiphon & Verses: Graduale Simplex (ICEL translation, approved for public worship)
    • Mode: IV
    • Voicing: SATB a cappella/unison choir/cantor + keyboard; soprano line may be sung a cappella

    The Graduale Simplex version of the Reproaches is equivalent to the "Reproaches II" found in the Roman Missal, Graduale Romanum, and Gregorian Missal for Sundays.

    Beautifully written! I'm concerned, though, that the text doesn't match the newly revised text found in the Roman Missal. Am I missing something?

    The translation used for the antiphon is ICEL's 1968 rendering of the Latin text of the Graduale Simplex, which has not been revised to my knowledge (nor do I think it will be in the near future due to more pressing priorities, e.g., the Liturgy of the Hours).
