    The ORDO CANTUS MISSAE (and hence Greg. Missal) added an optional chant called "Viri Galilaéi."

    Anyone have an organ accompaniment for this?

    Optional • Offertory (Acts 1: 11)

    Viri Galilaéi, quid admirámini aspiciéntes in caelum? Hic Jesus, qui assúmptus est a vobis in cælum, sic véniet, quemádmodum vidístis eum ascendéntem in cælum, allelúia.

    Men of Galilee, why do you gaze at the sky in astonishment? This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will come by the very way in which you saw him go into heaven, alleluia.

    No, I don't have an accompaniment (or a choral setting), although I have just composed an SSA setting of the Communio for Ascension Psallite Domino.

    Charles, can we get a look at Psallite?

    It would be very similar to Justorum animae for All Saints.

    It can be found in Portier's Graduale Romanum Comitante Organo, Tome 1, pages 48 - 49.

    Ted, I am not sure that book is public domain: otherwise, I would post it.

    No, it is not public domain, but it is a source of an accompaniment for that Offertory in case anyone is looking for one. Buying those books, however, does support Solesmes and their efforts to bring chant to the parishes.
