Are there any complete musical settings for all readings online?
Sometimes when somebody chants the readings when we celebrate Ad Orientem Ordinary Form, they mess up. So when Father notices he goes up to our Choirmaster and complains. Sir Choirmaster asked me to research on complete musical settings like the ones at the end of the Roman Missal. Sir Choirmaster doesn’t want to make up his own melody or ad-lib it.

Any suggestion would be welcomed even if it would mean some guidelines on composing a new melody. I’ll try to convince him, he’ll give in one way or another.

Thanks!

(Sorry for the repeated Sir Choirmaster’s, when I posted another post in another forum website about a priest and my dad, they were extremely confused about my narration)
 
For English, I can’t say for sure. Our abbey chants the readings of the Mass (and the Office) in French and there are guidelines for punctuation, etc.

For Latin though, the tones to use are found in the Graduale Romanum (the 1974 version for the Ordinary Form). You might be able to cobble something together using the Latin as a guide.
 
In the Ordinariate, we often have a sung Gospel. I believe Father uses the Graduale Romanum as a basis for the tones to use.
