Premières Vêpres du dimanche selon l'antique usage et chant de Paris

Advertisement

This is a service I've been wanting to do for a very long time! I'd initially hoped that it could take place in St Cuthbert's Chapel at Ushaw, but as time has passed with no movement on that front, I've decided on a venue that I have easy access to instead.
The antiphons and psalms are taken from a booklet prepared by the Schola Sainte-Cécile for use in the church of Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile.
As for the Marian Antiphon, here is a summary of the piece, taken from the Schola's website.
"This abbreviated chant of the antiphon to the Virgin Salve Regina , preserved orally in popular usage in France and disseminated from the Solesmes editions at the beginning of the 20th century , actually derives from an Oratorian plainsong composed at the beginning of the 17th century by Father François Bourgoing, who had completely rewritten the chant in use in the Oratory of France ( Brevis Psalmodiæ Ratio ad usum Presbyterorum Congregationis Oratorii , 1634):"
It is possible, though unlikely, that this particular chant has been sung in the United Kingdom before, so this could very well be the first time!
Do come along if you are free that day!
