Great! What was your source for the chants? (I think the MDR Triduum volume is just the texts, right?)
Hi Scott,
The antiphon texts were actually from the Monastic Diurnal, not the MDR, and the chants were from the Monastic Diurnal Noted. The Psalms were from the '79 BCP and the readings from the NRSV.
