Vespers, NO English, Weekday
For musically simplified Vespers (no through-composed antiphons) the Mundelein Psalter is a convenient ready-to-go solution. Similar results can be obtained free of charge by finding a suitable hymn tune, learning how to use some set of psalm tones …

Index of the Cistercian Chant Books Hosted at Splendor Veritatis
I resurrected the humble website with an unfinished table of contents of the Trappist antiphonale.

How would you adapt this antiphon to English? - Domine, Deus salutis meae
Yeah, I don't understand why people got hung up on the Scriptural parts when they could just translate the Latin regardless if it's the (Clementine) Vulgate, NV, a pre-Vulgate or other Vulgate variant…Antiphons made of Bible quotes usually…

How would you adapt this antiphon to English? - Domine, Deus salutis meae
@tomjaw In the sense of being "free from any error whatsoever in matters of faith and morals" (Divino Afflante Spiritu 21)? Yes. So the church teaches. In the sense of, in all parts and aspects, accurately reproducing the original inspire…

How would you adapt this antiphon to English? - Domine, Deus salutis meae
I don't understand why this "official" translation leaves out words... it completely omits "salutis meæ". This is where I REALLY struggle. That's an issue of the underlying Bible translation, which is certainly based on…

[off topic?] I don't see sufficient similarity of structure, quantity and rhythm. I wouldn't adapt.

Sharing my English Sunday Compline booklet
(The only mandatory Compline element currently missing in the booklet is antiphon to the psalm. Wouldn't it be worth adding?)

Gregorian Melodies: A Handbook of Plainsong (1901) by Prof. Peter Wagner, Ph.D.
Wagner's chant handbook is certainly a major achievement of the period and still a great read, but there's a more up to date reference book freely available: Hiley D.: Western Plainchant (1993)

What is this rare flex symbol?
The Roman antiphonal has two generously-sized columns But it uses two-column layout selectively, mainly (if not exclusively) for psalms and canticles. The example in the initial post seems to be from some sort of general rubrics.

What is this rare flex symbol?
What book is that? The short lines suggest a two-column breviary, but Roman breviaries don't use the flex (before the advent of LOTH) and chant books aren't usually typeset in two columns.

I've been keeping track of the calendar legislation developments in the source tree of a related software project.

No puzzle, just one of developments in the GNLY. The version with Monday is the one currently in force.

Compline reforms?
The “loss” of the Nunc Dimittis has kept me from the Benedictine office and it may be a stupid reason to reject a vocation, but hey, I think of how unsearchable His ways are all the time. Should anyone say "You are not a real monk, for you hard…

Liturgical book revisions discussed at the Nov 2023 meeting of the USSCB Committee on Divine Worship
The Divino Afflatu Compline psalmody is IMO not particularly suitable for a prayer at the end of the day - I mean the then new Monday-Saturday cycle. I always found several of those weekday psalm series (tediously long and) rather disturbing. Both t…

Carmelite Chant
igneus, it certainly doesn't exist in mainstream liturgical repertories... but there are other (marginal) sources that may be interesting. I'm waiting for some editions of Nivers' plainchant settings to understand them better as just …

Carmelite Chant
Whatever you are looking for, it doesn't exist in the realm of traditional liturgical repertory. Graduale simplex doesn't draw on "very simple" particular traditions, it uses chants of simpler genres (Office chants in place of Ma…

Carmelite Chant
Does anyone know whether the Discalced Carmelites retained/developed their own musical tradition ..., whether this continued into the 20th century - and crucially, whether they published editions of their chant? A notated 20th c. OCD proper is avai…

U.S. Missal "Vidi aquam"
That's correct. Concerning the missal see a e.g. the little photo at the end of this article https://www.domradio.de/artikel/namensgeber-fuer-wichtige-messbuecher-benediktinerpater-anselm-schott-vor-125-jahren or https://www.4teachers.de/?acti…

U.S. Missal "Vidi aquam"
German missal uses square notation. Italian missal uses modern notation. I'm not sure if the currently used Czech missal contains any notation at all. The 1980' edition I used to serve with as a kid certainly did contain some limited amo…

Why does the Sixth Tone (Plainsong Psalmody) have no alternate terminations?
And the mode VI melody doesn't seem to be ancient.

Why does the Sixth Tone (Plainsong Psalmody) have no alternate terminations?
@MatthewRoth All the tone VI.F Gregobase antiphons beginning with Do turned out to be versions of Quo abiit (just minor melody variants for the same lyrics).

Why does the Sixth Tone (Plainsong Psalmody) have no alternate terminations?
@smt With CPDL I can't help. As for Gregobase, the Github repository contains a MySQL database dump, which is updated from time to time, usually once a year or so. You can take it and load into your local MySQL installation. The Gregobase data…

Why does the Sixth Tone (Plainsong Psalmody) have no alternate terminations?
They all begin on the same note: Fa, or in the third case, Do, because it's transposed. I would hazard that there are in fact no other first notes: it's always going to be Fa or Do, but I could be wrong; if I am, then it's a first not…

Votive Antiphon of St Anne
‘O doctor optime’ is (in the EF) a Magnificat antiphon of feasts of both mentioned saints, taken from the Common of Doctors. Similarly St. Anne would be commemorated in the EF world with a Magnificat antiphon from the Common of "not Virgins, no…

Marian antiphons during the Triduum
Sure. In LOTH the final antiphon is an integral part of the Completory. For such a part to be lawfully omitted it's necessary that the omission is allowed by the law. But there is no single rubric allowing such an omission: Ordinary of the Le…

Marian antiphons during the Triduum
I believe it is a rule for everyone to follow. In the EF (both in the secular and monastic office). In LOTH final antiphons are sung around the year, Triduum included. Omitting the final antiphon is not even a (legal) option.
