Feast of St Joachim and Anna (July 26) - chants for Matins

Note that the invitatory antiphon and hymn provided for the feast in the Liber Responsorialis are not those used for the 1962 version of the feast.

Instead:

• the invitatory antiphon (Christum regem) can be found in the Liber Hymnarius, pg 585;
• the hymn, Gaude Mater, is in the Antiphonale Monasticum, pg 985;

I haven't been able to locate a chant source for the responsory, O clara stirps however (please let me know if you know of one!).

O clara stirps Davidica*

R. O clara / stirps Davídica, micans quais iubar solis * Ex qua prodiérunt Ióachim et Anna, mérito fulgéntes praecípuo. V. Nóbilis vere dignáque progénies, univérso mundo valde gratiósa. R. Ex qua prodiérunt Ióachim et Anna, mérito fulgéntes praecípuo. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Ex qua prodiérunt Ióachim et Anna, mérito fulgéntes praecípuo.

R. O shining stem of David, beating down like a ray of sun, * From which came forth Joachim and Anna gleaming with extraordinary merit. V. Truly renowned and worthy offspring, greatly beloved of all the world. R. From which came forth Joachim and Anna gleaming with extraordinary merit. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. From which came forth Joachim and Anna gleaming with extraordinary merit.
