Podcast
A work in progress - the idea is to make all the variations available as podcast episodes for you to download on your phone and pray along to.
The plan is to begin each title for each hour with a short code to help you find the right recording. I estimate there will be over 60 recordings required to cover the hours.
The first letter indicates the hour: M, L, P, T, S, N, V, C - that should be fairly self-explanatory. Modifications for Advent, Christmas and Paschaltide are given with the letters A, N (for Nativitas) and P. Modifications for Septuagesima (Laus tibi Domine and no Alleluias) is indicated by the number 70. Matins takes a few more variables. 1 = Sunday, Monday, Thursday; 2 = Tuesday, Friday; 3 = Wednesday, Saturday. TD indicates the Te Deum.
I’ll upload the Marian Antiphons separately.
Update: May 2023 I’ve moved the podcast over to Substack and still figuring out the details.
Let’s see if I can clarify the code idea:
