Dear all,
again I am looking for a score and again I am inspired by a recording from Westminster Cathedral Choir. It's from their latest CD "Vexilla Regis" which was published by the Buckfast Abbey label "Ad fontes". You can hear the beginning of the piece and download the booklet here:

So, basically the men are singing the antiphon "Deus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquisti?" and then a solo voice is singing verses in a highly melismatic manner, comparable to a gradual verse. But I could nowhere find a score, not in my books, not on gregobase and even my monastic friends don't know the chant. So it might be that they wrote something in a Gregorian style and there is no score publicly available, but maybe one of you knows more about it? I would love to use it next Lent.
All the best!
