    Here are my ferial english propers for the Octave of Easter, in the style of Simple English Propers. For those proper texts already contained in SEP, only page citations are included to the book, including the incipit. The original latin texts are from the Graduale Romanum, and the translations come from various sources (I can provide sources if you want). Edit: I am now including the actual music from SEP, instead of just a page citation.

    SEP for the Octave of Easter

    It's a little big, so it may take a minute to load the PDF.

    I know it might be a little late for some. Sorry about the delay. image
  • This is fantastic! Thank you!

    I put this together hastily last week as I was trying to get out the door to assist at Holy Week liturgies.

    Over the weekend, I've corrected the odd margins and page size, and also a few typos (mainly in the psalm text pointing), and I've updated the link above to the new file.

    The Ferial propers for the Fourth week of Easter are complete.

    A complete listing of all the ferial propers I've done can also be found here.
  • Thank you so much for these. I was able to use your propers for the Easter Octave here at the monastery. I just chanted the antiphons themselves without the psalms or instrumentation, whereas otherwise we would have either recited the missal antiphon or sang Easter songs. It was simple, short (leaving time for silence), and nice, though I was still recovering from a huge Easter roast beef.

    Again, thank you!

    Hello Ben,

    @Ellie, Ben hasn't been active on the forum for many years. Here is an archived copy of his first file, and you may find others by pasting the urls into the Wayback Machine at archive.org.

    You may find Fr Weber's Proper of the Mass Volumes 2 and 3 (free to download) are more complete for your ferial needs (and buy Volume 1 for Sundays).

    Thank you so much, GerardH.
    I also know Fr.Weber's Proper and have a hard copy of Volume I.
    Actually I was looking for responsorial psalms for Easter Octave.
