My most popular videos on youtube are the ones on how to sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. So many people want to sing this popular devotion from the middle ages.
Baronius Press has published very handsome little copies of the Little Office with the key pieces of chant in an appendix. It is tantalisingly close to enabling people to sing the Office, but it lacks the handy mark-up that choir members would be accustomed to. A complete work would be much bigger. I have made some such booklets at littleoffice.brandt.id.au. Right now there is a long way to go.
In this episode we sing through Lauds from Office 1 as it would be sung from Pentecost through to the end of the Liturgical Year.
