Dear colleagues, our schola has to sing the Mass on the Friday after Ascension (Novus Ordo), found in Graduale Triplex (GT), p. 239. There is an Alleluja (Tone VIII) with the verse Confitemini Domino (Ps. 117). Since I did not want to photocopy GT, I looked for the same chant in the older books like Vaticana or GT (1961), but I did not found any. The Ordo cantus Missae was not helpful either, just mentioning "alternative" melody. 'Alternative' is obviously meant in respect to the one on teh Easter Vigil with teh same text. Do you know, has this particular melody ever been published in any chant books 1903–1961, or was it taken from some manuscript and put into the square notation just after the liturgical reform? Thanks in advance for any help.
