Chants

P. Lefèvre (p.245) mentions some chants voor Guido. These are part of an office, that is preserved in a 17th century transcription only. This transcription (incl. hymn En Guido Christi vernuli is now in the Aartsbissch. Archief Mechelen (in 'Doos V Anderlecht'). The text is edited by J. Lavalleye (see below).

P. Lefèvre noemt op p. 245 ant. Volens Dei emeritum, hym. En Guido, resp. Igitur venerabilis Guido, magn.ant. O gloriosum Xpisti confessorem Guidonem, en als ik goed begrijp, in de metten 1 nocturne voor Guido en verder voor Maria Nativ. Misschien zijn de 2e-vesper-ant. Dominum semper en Agmina sacra ook voor Guido
