| Office Ordinarium chants |
The Ordinarium chants for the Divine Office are rarely found in liturgical manuscripts. Verses like Deus in adjutorium or Benedicamus domino are frequently indicated by their incipit, but are seldom written in full. To encounter a complete set of these chants, as for instance in the Sarum Antiphoner, edited by Frere, is exceptional. This page contains an inventory of these parts of the office as found in the Low Countries.
