    I have found this two beautiful videos of Iste Confessor but there is no reference on the authors and notations. If someone recognizes the hymn tunes or the authors I would be most grateful.

    The second is the hymn tune ROUEN. The first seems to be a video about Japanese cyber cafes?

    The first tune is by Caspar Ett (1788-1847), Iste Confessor Domini.

    See this CPDL page.

    hymnary.org credits the second tune to a Poitiers Antphoner, 1746. Perhaps Cyril Pocknee talks about it in his book, French diocesan hymns and their melodies. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy (yet).

    The second link was recorded at the FSSP Sacred Music Symposium and the harmonies are from the Brebeuf Hymnal Choral Supplement. Gorgeous, isn’t it!!
