Compline by Benjamin Bloomfield Actually, it looks like Breviarium Gregorianum fully supports compline (and other hours), too.

Why isn't the Canticum Trium Puerorum strictly scriptural?
@NoahLovins: I've wondered that, too. Maybe it's a shorthand, and some unexpressed words are implied, like Prime's ℣. Benedícite. ℟. Deus. is short for ℣. Benedícite! ℟. Deus benedicat. [℣. Bless, ye! ℟. May God bless.] Or how "…

Why isn't the Canticum Trium Puerorum strictly scriptural?
The oldest known manuscript of written music in the world, the Cantatorium St. Gallen (c. 924 A.D.), contains the Canticum Trium Puerorum on pp. 5-6:

Why isn't the Canticum Trium Puerorum strictly scriptural?
@Charles_WeaverWhat is not strictly scriptural about it?I mean it's not verbatim taken from Daniel.laudate et superexaltate eum in saecula) is not repeated after each verse. This seems to have been a pretty early (and very practical) omission.W…

What's this tone for chanting Gen. 1:1-31; 2:1-2 at the Paschal Vigil?
Genesis tonus ad libitum. Interesting. It fit the text well and helped with enunciation/articulation in a large space. @Charles_Weaver, are there "FSSP Tone" PDF for the other lessons?

Interlinear English-Latin hymnals?
I think why the Latin is more difficult than many hymns' is that this one uses many ablative phrases: Casto fœdere = "by a chaste bond" afflatu superi flaminis = "by the breath of the divine Spirit" Mira sorte beatior = &quo…

Ictus note not sustained?
So is the lengthening of the second note in a salicus (when it's a 5th) only part of the "classic Solesmes method"?

Ictus note not sustained?
I know that episemas lengthen the note. I'm asking about the ictus (first pulse, the "1" of 1-2 or 1-2-3 groups); is it not always emphasized or lengthened?

Books on how to direct chant?
Are there libers that have the chironomy notation, arsis/thesis marks, and/or "beat numberings" (1-2 or 1-2-3) for at least all Sundays and major feasts? Is this called adiastematic notation?

Gregorian chant originates from ancient Jewish psalmody?
@Continuousbass "did Jesus chant or not?" Yes! "And a hymn being said [sung, or chanted; ὑμνήσαντες, hymnesantes], they went out unto mount Olivet." —Matthew 26:30
