Thought I'd share this with you. I've loved the idea of the SEP and have been using them extensively, but when it came to funeral Masses, I really missed the original chant tunes. And if there's a translation in the American Use Gradual, I couldn't find it.
So this is the first of the Propers for the funeral Mass, adapted from the original chant tune and set with English words. I don't yet have a finished copy with organ accompaniment (for use with the timid cantor) but that will come next.
Hope some of you find this useful.
