MundeleinFor those of you who love the Liturgy of the Hours but prefer more traditional forms and chant, the Mundelein Psalter is a beautiful work. Here are a few of the details:

  • Translations of hymns proper to each ferial day and a selection of hymns for feasts and solemnities (taken from the editio typica).
  • Music with the ancient modal settings is provided for each hymn. Hymns are also arranged to be sung with any long meter (lm) tune.
  • A collection of 14 optional modes that can be used as needed.
  • It uses the Grail Psalms and contains Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer.
  • It also includes the Sanctoral cycle and the Office for the Dead. A Pastoral Implementation Guide for the progressive implementation of the Liturgy of the Hours in a parish setting.

    Is it meant to be a replacement for the current Christian Prayer? I checked it out and it seems much better organized graphically and, since I prefer to chant the Office, I appreciate its emphasis on chanting.

    TIA

      Not a replacement – just an alternative. It is a beautiful work.

        Can it be used to fulfill one’s obligation to pray the Divine Office, at least those obliged to pray Lauds and Vespers?

        TIA

          That depends on the source of the obligation. If you are religious – that would be up to your superior. If you are not, you are free to use what you like.
