Does anyone know of a motet which was written for today's feast? (Compiegne)

Chris Garton-Zavesky

Today being the martyrdom of the Sisters of Compiegne, I've been thinking about propers, again, and motets.
Does anyone have such a motet?

Arthur Connick,

Are there Propers for the feast?

Here are pages from the new (2006) and old (1959) books of propers for the Discalced Carmelite order.

In both cases, it appears that texts from the Common of Several Virgins were taken.

I would say that versions of the chants they reportedly sang would be good and proper... Salve Regina, Veni Creator Spiritus, Laudate Dominum...

The Salve Regina from Poulenc's Dialogue of the Carmelites (with optional guillotine percussion)?

Fr. Krisman,

I don't know Poulenc's work at all. Can you recommend a score or a recording?

CGZ, there are some Youtube videos of the complete opera, but these are fine recordings of the Salve Regina finale:
