    Today I was in Germany and upon visiting a church I had a chance to browse through Gotteslob, the German hymnal. There I saw a Vidi aquam in a simple tone unknown to me. I didn't have time to memorise it, but back home I found the following online recording of the chant: it's #1 of the track list and can be listened to by clicking "luisteren".

    It's a mode VIII chant, of which I made the following transcription based on the recording. Does someone know the source of this chant? Gotteslob said "Vat.", but I can't find it in any Vatican edition.

    In my Kyriale Romanum, it is right after the commonly known tone.

    Thanks! It looks like the modern Kyriale from Solesmes, and the Graduale Romanum (1908, 1961 and 1974) don't have this version.
