Gregorian Scores for Christe Redemptor omnium

[Hieronymvs]

Does anyone knows where I can find scores for hymn Christe, Redemptor Omnium (Christ, Redeemer Of All)? I found lyrics here, as Rabanus Maurus wrote that: www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Hymni/ChristeRedOmn.html
but avaliable scores have another text, so, different notation…

When in doubt, Google. The first hit in a search for “Christe, Redemptor Omnium score” leads you to

cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Christe_Redemptor_Omnium_I_(Tom%C3%A1s_Luis_de_Victoria

which leads you to

upv.es/coro/victoria/partituras.html

which finally gives you this:

upv.es/coro/victoria/pdf/Christe_Redemptor_Omnium.pdf

Interestingly, the second hit in that initial search is this thread.

It would be included in the Liber Usualis, which is free for the download somewhere on the web.

History behind this hymn is some complex, chant “Christe redemptor omnium” was used until Trent Council, because protestants made a similar version, in order to fool catholics. So it was changed by “JESU redemptor omnium”, with near lyrics. After Vatican II “Christe redemptor omnium” returned, inserted in Liturgia Horarum (breviary of canon hours), at vespers of december 25.

So, I’m grateful with your help, but version www.upv.es isn’t the original…

Liber Usualis from 1961 doesn’t contains it yet. Just post conciliar breviary, or Sarum Rite’s breviary (pre-Tridentine) contais it.

:ehh: Fascinating. What features should we look for to identify the original?

The link above has a scanned page from an 1887 hymnal. It gives both the Latin and English texts, although only the English is set to the tune. Might be helpful to you, though.
