I'm displaying considerable ignorance here, but hey. This forum is a wonderful source of illumination.
Please could someone furnish me with a definition of a responsorium breve? I have come across odd ones here and there, eg in Liber Cantualis but I understand that many others exist; is there a good source of chants somewhere?
I know they form part of the Office (we do sung Evening Prayer for Solemnities and sing the requisite responsorium breve to a simple psalm tone) but could they be used at Mass and if so how? Are there polyphonic versions?
Thank you!
