LOTH: Chant Tune for Morning and Evening Canticle?

[TimothyH]

Anyone have a link to the tune for the chant for the Canticle of Zechariah for morning prayer and Canticle of Mary for evening prayer?

Simple, not set to a sixty piece orchestra or with sickly sweet with violins and piano. Just the chant.

Thanks.

Well if you’re looking for a Gregorian tone it is set to the mode of the antiphon and varies every day with the antiphon.

I really don’t know what I’m looking for and probably couldn’t tell Gregorian from Boy George.

I participated in the Liturgy of the Hours for a one week period at a parish. The entire morning prayer was spoken, not chanted, with the exception of the Canticle of Zecheriah. I think the chant had all of six, maybe seven notes, and was repeated daily using the same chant.

I’m not looking for anything elaborate like the full liturgy which I have participated in at a Cistercian monastery.

Just a simple daily chant, six or seven notes (or five or eight) for the canticles in morning/evening prayer would be nice. Something simple that I can sing God’s word back to him

How about this:

Benedictus (Canticle of Zechariah

Divine Office sings the offices on Sundays. They only sing the Invitiatory the other days. I don’t know what they are using for the tune, but it may be worth checking.

Very nice, TrueLight.

Niether of those are the tunes I was looking for but I appreciate the links more than you know.

I may have to take a drive from Atlanta back to that Church on the gulf coast to get the tune. I guess I could suffer through a week of being at the beach in order to learn the tune.
