Two new resources for the Matins responsories are now available.
First, the Nocturnale Romanum Project is working to provide a revised and more generally available version of the Nocturnale Romanum.
As a first step, they are publishing all the non-copyright chants from the Standhofe edition of the Nocturnale both online and in PDF form, and you can find the chants posted so far here. These are of course aligned to the Roman Office, not the Benedictine, so you will still need to use the listings provided here (or do the task yourself) to work out which ones fit where in the Benedictine Office (and of course there will be gaps).
The second big step forward is the publication of the Latin texts (as well as a Latin-French version) for Matins in the Benedictine Office as a joint project between Le Barroux and Le Garde monasteries, thus solving the problem of the scarcity of 1962 Monastic Breviaries.
It is worth knowing that the Gower nuns have also produced a set of Matins books, in a Latin-English version, but the work is not yet publicly available.
Hopefully the next step will be to publish the chants...

℟. Factum est, dum tólleret Dóminus
Elíam per túrbinem in cælum, * Eliséus
clamábat, dicens: Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auríga ejus. ℣. Cumque pérgerent, et incedéntes
sermocinaréntur, ecce currus ígneus et equi ígnei divisérunt utrúmque, et
ascéndit Elías per túrbinem in cælum. ℟. Eliséus clamábat, dicens: Pater mi, pater
mi, currus Israël, et auríga ejus. |
℟. And it came to pass when the
Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind * Elisha cried, and said: My
father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. ℣. And as they still went on, and
talked, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and
parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. ℟. Elisha cried, and said: My
father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. |
