First post, so hello everybody.
I am trying to assemble a booklet of breviary hymns, and I have been trying to hunt down a source for the melody of the above hymn, used for the Presentation of Christ at Lauds in the Anglican Breviary. It is a rather obscure one as far as I can tell, and the only source I was able to find was in a MS, (Copenhagen, Det kongelige Bibliotek Slotsholmen, Gl. Kgl. S. 3449, 8o I), but as I am only an enthusiastic hobbyist in chant, I have great trouble decoding the notes – it is in a notation I have not encountered before. There are a number of microfilm scans of the hymn here, here and here.
I had a go at transcribing it into gabc taking some clues from how cantusindex have transcribed it, so I have attached the results – could somebody have a look at it suggest corrections please? Again, I am far from an expert in – I only gave it my best shot.
Thank you in advance!
