I am trying to typeset a 9th century breviary hymn that was common throughout certain regions of Europe.
It is one of the oldest for St. Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr.

I wondered if anyone could try yo make a recommendation on a particular melody in "Trochaic Tetrameter Catalectic meter" to match these verses. I know most of the standard liber hymnarius melodies and was hoping for something more obscure that was new, rather than use the same old ones such as the "pange lingua" type (one cant use it for everything!!).

Another option might be to adapt a sequence melody to it, since it is rather long (14 verses if not divided in half), as certain sequence melodies are very close in meter if I recall...

Your thoughts?
Great hymn eh?

here are examples of the verses.

LATIN
1. Incliti festum pudoris
virginis Ceciliae,
gloriosa precinamus
voce prompti pectoris,
quo soluta lege mortis
tollitur in aetheris.

1. Of Cecilia, humble virgin,
Bright of fame, the feast to sing,
And to tell her virtues glorious
Eager hearts and voices bring:
Tell how, laws of death defying,
She was lifted to her King.

5. Sponsus hic furore caeco [caecus]
comminatur virgini;
sed beata virgo factis
dicta prorsus comprobans,
angelum munusque caeli
mox adesse praestitit.

5. Here her spouse, with fury blinded,
Threatens her whom he had wed,
But by deeds the blessed virgin
Verifying what she said
Proves at once the angel present
And the heavn’ly grace there shed.

14. Ut tuam, Christe, videntes [Christe, ut Tuam]
servuli praesentiam
gratulemur, gaudeamus,
personemus gloriam[,]
curiae caelestis arce
confovendi_in saecula.

14. That, O Christ, when we Thy servants
See Thy presence, we may be
Grateful, joyful, and unbridled
In our worshiping of Thee,
Mid Thy heav’nly walls enjoying
Glory for eternity.
