Does anyone have the music for the versicles, respsonses and prayer that follows the Tantum Ergo in the traditional form of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament? (The section that starts "Panem de coeli praestitisti eis "). The Liber Usalis doesn’t give it.

We Catholics of a certain age have the tune etched in our hearts, but our tonality is becoming a little suspect. I want to be able to pass this on to some of our younger clergy.

Go here, download the book “Mass and Vespers (1957)” (a very large pdf), and look on p. 820. I think that is what you want.

EDIT: Or, for simple tone, download the book “Cantus Selecti (1957),” and look on p. 294.
 
Nice to hear that some churches still have Benediction. Before Vatican II we used to have Benediction every Sunday at 5:00.
I have not seen a Sunday Benediction for decades.
 
Thanks for the link, Mark. That will keep me in chant for the foreseeable future!

Yes we still have the traditional setting of the Blessed Sacrament Procession and Benediction, twice a year on the feasts of Corpus Christi and Christ the King. One of our priests was an acquisition from the Church of England and enjoys popish practices that we had long since abandoned. We also have Benediction on the first Friday of every month, but that is with a more modern English setting.

Good, I hope that’s what you wanted.
