The notes below are intended to help in finding or adapting the texts for Matins according to the 1962-3 rubrics.
Divinum Officium
Matins for the Second Sunday after Easter as set out at Divinum Officium (pre-Tridentine monastic) generally conforms to the 1962-3 monastic office save for the readings and responsories. Note that the first Nocturn readings are from Acts 1 not Acts 13. The correct texts, including missing responsories, can be found at my Lectio Divina blog. The final Our Father should also be omitted.
Key texts
There is only one antiphon for each Nocturn, and these are used on Sundays throughout the season. The texts are in the Clear Creek Matins booklet (Matins according to...); the chants can be found either in the Psalter for Matins of Peter Standhofe (PDF only), or the Nocturnale Romanum.
In terms of the other chants:
- the invitatory antiphon is Surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia, which can be found in the Liber Responsorialis (LR), pg 82; Liber Hymnarius, pg 79; or Invitatory booklet; and
- the hymn is Rex Sempiterne Domino, LR 82, Nocturnale Romanum or Liber Hymnarius.
Sources for the chants for the responsories can be found under the label Easter2 on the Benedictine Responsory blog.
Note that the Easter tone for the Te Decet Laus is used, and this can be found both in the LR (Pg 42, alter tonus) and Liber Hymnarius.
