Liber Responsorialis pro Festis I Classis et communi Sanctorum iuxta ritum monasticum Adnectuntur Invitatorium et Hymnus Aliorum Festorum, Solesmes, 1895
Why you should acquire this book
Even if you aren't actually planning to sing Matins, the Liber Responsorialis is worth a look since it contains some of the key texts that are missing from most of the psalters arranged for the monastic Office (such as the Clear Creek booklet or the Psautier Monastique).
In particular, it contains the antiphons (and lists out the psalms) for the Commons of Saints, as well as those for a number of major feasts.
For those who do want to sing some or all of Matins at least occasionally, this is a key reference book, though you will need to supplement it from other sources such as the Nocturnale Romanum and online sources.
Where to find it
The good news is that the Liber Responsorialis (with 1924 supplement) can be downloaded for free from the CC Watershed library: Liber Responsorialis (194MB).
You can also buy a reprint through Sarto Verlag.
The lack of chant books!
Solesmes has never, as far as I know, put out a book that contains all the chants for Matins. Even in the new revised series of the Antiphonale Monasticum, that for Matins (supposedly Volume 4), remains conspicuously missing from its releases.
Accordingly, if you are looking for the chants, you have to hunt through several different books (and even then some remain missing).
The Liber Responsorialis though, prepared under the supervision of Dom Joseph Pothier, provides an essential starting point.
What it contains
The book provides the chant for invitatory, hymn, antiphons (and listing the psalms they are attached to) and at least some of the responsories for a selection of major feasts and seasons.
It also contains some of the 'ordinary' chants, such as the chant tones for Psalm 94.
The book can be frustrating in its gaps though.
The proper of time section, for example, contains the complete chants for Christmas and the Epiphany, for example, but then bypasses Lent altogether, skipping straight to Easter. The separate 'responsories of time' section contains some of the responsories for Sundays of the year, but typically only one or two (out of twelve).
The list of feasts it covers is quite small and eclectic.
What it doesn't contain
The chants are for major feasts including some Sunday responsories - but it doesn't contain the weekday hymns and texts used throughout the year. There are also quite a few responsories for Sundays of the year missing.
Alternatives?
If all you want is the texts (and which psalms to use etc), then a breviary is probably a better option, this is after all primarily a chant book.
And in terms of alternative sources for the chants themselves, the Nocturnale Romanum has a large proportion of the chants in the Responsorialis, as well as many others used on other days (although occasionally using alternative texts particular to the Roman Office) albeit not necessarily used in the same order/feast as the Benedictine Office.
In addition many of the chants are becoming available online through sources like Gregofacsimil.
Still worth having though in my view.
