English O Antiphons?

PLTT

Does anyone know of (or have) an adaption of the chant melody for the O Antiphons according to the text of the Liturgy of the Hours? The ones I've found (including on the CMAA page) either use a different translation or psalm tone melodies. I'm specifically looking for December 22: "O King of all the nations", though a resource with the others would be welcome as well.

Not a Liturgy of the Hours translation, but, for any who don't mind an ~~'un~~-official' Ordinariate tongue, I can supply these in Old Church English.

I know Fr. Weber has done these. You can probably find them online.

Just did a quick search: https://media.musicasacra.com/pdf/oantiphons_simple_english.pdf

PLTT of course alludes to Palmer's Salisbury Antiphoner.

I recently looked into the Parisian O's and C. Wright: Music and Ceremony at Notre Dame of Paris, 500–1550 (Cambridge, 1989), p106 in connection with a set of polyphonic settings and CPDL editions by Mick Swithinbank, discovering that there were at times 9(!), with an intonation starting on la. O Virgo virginum appears to have been intended for the octave of the Immaculate Conception:

Here are a few of them that I have set in the past couple of years.

Beautifully done, Richard!
