    Heyo,

    Like most of you, I am preparing for this year's Tenebrae celebrations. Mine is OF. I was wondering if anyone had any English settings in alternatim of the psalmody for Tenebrae, and barring that, had simpler formulas in alternatim. Thanks!

    I have some you can use. I started creating a set for OF use, but never completed them. The typesetting is a disaster (I was experimenting). Here are a couple of examples:
    Psalm14 (Holy Sat 2).pdf
    16K
    Psalm 4 (Holy Sat 1).pdf
    14K

    Those are excellent. Where did you find the settings themselves?

    maestrodicapella,

    Thanks for posting these. I have to create a Holy Sat Tenebrae for my place this year. I'd love to find out how much you have set, as this would be excellent for us.

    I'll post what I have done so far. You are most welcome to them, I never got around to using them. I'd be delighted to know they were getting an airing. Feel free to tweak them - they haven't been road tested yet!

    2nd Nocturne (never completed), but the Responsories are very easy to find - there are loads available free online (I have used Croce's O vos omnes and Gallus' (Handl) Ecce quomodo in the past):

    Where did you find those fauxbourdon settings?

    EDIT: Found them, linked right here on our own forums (fora?):

    Some of them, yes. Others are from a variety of sources (some I've not set yet). Hope some of this is useful.
