Singing Traditional Matins

[FrRJBoyd]

Does anyone know where I could find the music for Matins according to the liturgical books in force in 1962? The Antiphonale (diurnale) at the Internet Archive is wonderful resource

but I have had a hard time trying to locate anything for Matins. I have seen that there is a Noctunale Romanum available here

directshopper.de/9783936476019-Nocturnale-Romanum-Sandhofe–Holger-P-Nachtgebet-Nocturnale-Gregorianischer-Choral-Gre_Sonstige_p

but it appears to be for the new Liturgy of the Hours. Does anyone know of any on-line resources for singing Traditional Matins?

Thanks and God bless,

Fr. Boyd

At one time you could d/l a big part of the traditional Nocturnale at

nocturnale.de

This domain may be for sale!

I’ve gathered from my reading, however, that frequently the Responsories at Daily Matins were mere recited, not chanted, even in Trappist monasteries.

The Liber Usualis of 1962 (and some prior editions) has the Notations for Matins of Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Corpus Christi. As well as Lauds for Feasts of the First Class. You can sometimes find the rare edition that has modern notation if you are not up to speed on gregorian numes.
