    Looking for something like this for the other hours. Any ideas?

    I'm working on something similiar, but it will take years for me to finish - and I'm kind of waiting for the new edition of the Liturgy of the Hours so I don't have to do work twice. If you have a specific need for a specific occasion, I'm happy to try and put something together for you.

    Well, there's the Mundelein Psalter.

    Oh yes, of course, a great resource. Of course the difference from the Compline book ryand linked to is that the Mundelein Psalter is almost entirely in English and the antiphons are set to tones, not with their own melodies. A great place to start, however.

    I will check that one out. Thanks. Any others?

    If Latin only is ok, check out Steven van Roode's booklets for Sundays and Feasts... http://www.transitofvenus.nl/LiturgiaHorarum/

    We use the Mundelein Psalter with excellent results. The tones are easy and repetitive. You just need to get used to navigating the book.

    Just as a disclaimer, I believe this is more a function of any book for the Office, rather than the MP itself!

    I would assume so. My experience with LoH is limited so I have only had to learn this one. And even then, we have a Director of Liturgy that takes care of pulling the appropriate psalms and antiphons and compiling them into a worship aid. I just get to sit there and chant them. :)

    My Latin is still fledgling, which is what's real nice about that Compline book being side-by-side. I'll check out SVR's though. No problem with Latin aside from my limited comprehension right now.
