Looking for Tenebrae Responsories in English
-
Does anyone know of English language chant settings for the responsories at Tenebrae (e.g. "Tenebrae factae sunt" or "Sicut ovis")? That is, unison chants in more or less the same style as the Latin originals, not polyphony.

Simplified chant, in this thread https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/3030/tenebrae/p1 attachment by Bruce E FordThanked by 1FKulash

Thanks, for your reply. I see music for the psalms and antiphons in the attachment by Bruce Ford, but only the text for the responsories. Am I missing something? Ford's arrangement of "Christus factus est" at the very end is the kind of thing I want.

I'm not fluent with dropbox yet but can you open this? https://www.dropbox.com/h?preview=palmer_tenebrae1956.pdf
Sicut ovis is on page 96 (48 of the pdf)Thanked by 1FKulash -
Unfortunately, I can't open that, but after eeing the URL you posted, I searched for "Palmer Tenebrae" and found this:
http://anglicanhistory.org/music/palmer_tenebrae1956.pdf
It appears to be the same thing. It has "Socut ovis" on page 96.
Thanks!Thanked by 1Richard Mix -

I probably caused some confusion by updating my message while you were posting the above.

looks good, too. Thanks!Thanked by 1a_f_hawkins -
FKulash - I don't think you were adding to my confusion, which I attribute to Dropbox instructions + my old age + after-effects of a Covid vaccination yesterday. I think I have finally understood the instructions, if this link works :

Yes, that worked. I can see the Palmer document in Dropbox now.Thanked by 1a_f_hawkins

Would you consider The choral Tenebrae Responsories by Healey Willan? How about Msgr. Ronan from St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto (available on their website).
-
Hi, JMoellman,
The Willan and Ronan settings aren't unison settings, are they? -
Willan is SATB
