Dear friends, I wonder if anyone is aware of a collection of falsibordoni (fauxbourdon)(falsobordone)(faburden) psalm tones for men's voices. Either arrangements or composed.
Here are some of the Falsobordone that I've worked on. They are for TTB choir.
I'll include the Psalms for Sundays, Psalms for BVM, also a set of slightly ornamented chants, a settings of Deus in Adjutorium and a Mode VIII Magnificat. I hope this might be helpful.

Here are two alternatim settings of the ICET Magnificat that are compatible with the tones found in The Mundelein Psalter. Feel free to use other texts.

Here's TTB my arrangement of Thomas Morley's Falsobordone setting of the Magnificat. I adapted his edition to fit the current text of the Magnificat in the Liturgy of the Hours in English. It is done in alternatim with a simplified version of Mode VIII chant tone.
I'm looking for something similar to the above, but in mode II in order to pair the Magnificat with the O Antiphons. Is there something like that already out there?
