From the designer of the Benedictiones Mensae (2019, Pax inter Spinas), this elegant and practical Compline booklet contains the full texts for the Office of Compline according the traditional Roman Breviary of 1568, with full musical notation based on the Roman Antiphonal of 1912, and an English translation. Those devoted to Compline will find a Proëm discussing the value and mystical significance of night prayer, ceremonial notes for recitation in choir, all the seasonal and proper festal melodies of the hymn Te lucis, as well as the special Offices said during the Holy Triduum and the Octave of Easter. This book will be welcome in parishes, religious communities, seminaries, and families who wish to pray together at the end of the day. Visit the Canticum Salomonis weblog for a rich treasury of prayer texts, music, and commentaries on the Roman Rite.
