The "Weekday Propers Sung," according to the Lutheran Liturgical Prayer Brotherhood

I've taken an entire page from the LLPB site, and cut-and-pasted it here, for now; the links open audio files housed on the LLPB site.    Apparently the LLPB idea is to sing these responsories, versicles, hymns, canticles, and etc. each feria of the year outside of the seasonal listings they provide.  I'll see if I can find out more about this on the LLPB site.  

I've labeled each hymn with its name below (in green, so you can tell which are my additions).   With only a couple of exceptions, these "ordinary time" hymns match up exactly with the Sarum hymns prescribed for the period "From the Octave of the Epiphany until the 1st Sunday in Lent."  Sarum, apparently, saw a difference between that stretch of the Great Church Year (which I'll call "Ordinary Time Period I") and The Sarum Office Hymns "From the Octave of Corpus Christi until Advent" (AKA "Ordinary Time II").   The Roman Catholic Church, and, I'm assuming, the Lutherans, do not make such a division; the set of hymns below are used, as far as I can tell, in both periods.

(At the moment, I can't find a list of the hymns currently used in the RCC Divine Office for Ordinary Time - but I have seen such a list, and as I remember, they use the same hymns during both periods of "Ordinary Time."  I'll come back, once I find the list, and edit this post.)

I haven't listened to all the Responsories and Versicles linked below, but it does seem these are different for each day of the week.  I'll be back to talk more about these and the other items as well.  Meantime, you can explore these items - and learn and sing them in your own daily prayer practice, if you like.

Many thanks as always to the LLPB!  They are really doing some great things for the Daily Office tradition and those who practice it - and they offer it all, as they note below, free for all of us.
