Pure wonderfulness. A great pity none are sung at the Novus Ordo ~ not even the Sequence, unless it’s sung in a poor English translation and an even poorer tune. A huge, gaping poverty of Spirit. I have to sing them at home or listen to recordings, and Julian, thank you for putting the best all together in one place!
I'm not sure what you're referring to. The monastic and roman breviaries have hymns throughout the week. Is this a problem with the post-Vatican II Liturgy of the Hours?
I thnk there is something not quite right at their site. There are no hymns at all in any hour for the entire Easter octave! I'll take it up with them.
Great and wonderful list!! I wonder whether a hymn Ad cenam Agni providi is the same as Ad Regias Agni dapes? The begining of a hymn is little different, with pes and clivis on the fist two syllables, but the rest of the hymn is the same.
Thanks for reading! Yes, I believe the "Regias Agni" version is the Roman Breviary version, with the renaissance revised Latin (i.e. made to sound more like Virgil's Latin than Medieval Latin).
Actually, now I see that the melody of a whole hymn is different, although similar. Maybe after Urban VIII they also changed melodies, not just texts.
Have you heard maybe also this polyphonic setting of "Regina Caeli" (https://youtu.be/_TAdk_JfCzM?si=_TAlrrg7aiaqL78K), organ prelude in late reinessance style which precedes the composition is also magnificent!
Is that maybe pope Urban VIII' s version? I know that he changed some texts of the hymns in the Roman breviary? But melody is also slightly changed. In Croatian language we sing those of "Regias Agni" with pes and clivis on the first 2 syllables. (https://youtu.be/wLzLad7zEjw?si=gzPkReWuDyuYhkIe)

What a treasury of pure BEAUTY!!!
If hymns are so important then why are they "all" omitted in the Divine Office (Divinum Officium) during this Easter week?!

God bless from Croatia!
