Had this in my music file, although I think I may have a better copy somewhere.

Quite a few copies use modern notation, some with a slight variation of the melody.

Also there are polyphonic arrangements, alternating between chant.

On which of the Benedicamus melodies it is troped?

Aldrich, as always, your work is a visual treat. Thank you for sharing.

In Verse 5, should the translation read "...than Peter?"

I have a question about the translation of Verse 3:
"And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the wife of Jacob, and Mary the wife of Salome did come to anoint the Body, alleluia."

Was Salome the wife of Zebedee? Is she also referred to as Mary Salome? Were Mary Jacobi and Mary Salome both the sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary? The 3 Mary's are mentioned in the ever-revered Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Marys

Another online post had mentioned that Mary Magdalene was accompanied by Mary Jacobi, the sister of the Blessed Virgin, and Mary Salome, the mother of the apostles James and John, and wife of Zebedee.

Does anyone know what Catholic Tradition has to say about the supposed identity of those names mentioned in Verse 3?

Thank you, aldrich.

Mark 15:40 mentions three women who witnessed the Crucifixion: "There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome."

This verse leads to a little information about relatives of Jesus.

This Mary who is mother of James and Joses is also mentioned elsewhere in the Gospels:
Mk. 15:47 : "Mary the mother of Joses"
Mk. 16:1 : "Mary the mother of James"

The information in Scripture suggests that Mary, the mother of James and Joses, is not the Mother of our Lord, because Jesus is described as *the* son of Mary, and no one else is described as her son; nor is any woman described as her daughter.

Yet James and Joses are mentioned, along with men named Judah and Simon, as among the relatives ("brethren") of Jesus (Mk. 6:3). Mt. 13:55 has "Joseph" instead of "Joses". James later becomes the first bishop of Jerusalem, and Simon becomes the second: Eusebius mentions this in his Ecclesiastical History, and quotes the 2nd-century historian Hegesippus, who says that after James' death Simon the son of Clopas was everyone's favorite to become the bishop, since he was a cousin of the Lord. So Simon's father Clopas is perhaps a brother to St. Joseph. This shows how the relatives of Jesus ended up with a highly regarded position in the early church at Jerusalem, which is a change from the way they are depicted earlier in the gospels (John 7:5).

John 19:25 in turn says: "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene." It's not clear how this can be integrated with the other references. Is it possible that "his mother's sister" refers to Salome? Or is the passage designating the wife of Clopas as being also the "sister" of Mary (in an extended sense)? So we don't have all the answers on how to deal with this information in Scripture. Still, the passages are consistent with the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of our Lady.

This version is most common:
