Friends,
The four-volume American version of the Liturgy of the Hours contains many hymns that are unrelated to their respective Hours. The selections seem random, in fact (except for solemnities and feasts). I often wonder if there was ever an "approval" process, or if the publishers of the LOTH just threw in whatever they liked. Some of the hymns are, however, "official" Latin hymns in English.
Two such examples are in Volume I (Advent-Christmas):
Conditor alme siderum (pg. 126, Vespers in Advent, as Creator of the Stars of Night)
Vox ecce clara intonat (pg. 123, Lauds in Advent, as Hear the Herald Voice Resounding)
Are there any other liturgical Latin hymns translated within the American LOTH, that you're aware of? I'm asking for Volume number and page number, so I may compile a list. It would be appreciated. :)
