“Does
he make this stuff up” I can hear my readers say as they flip through their
copy of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer desperately looking for the Epistle and Gospel
for the first Wednesday in Advent.
No,
I don’t make it up, I am not that clever. So let me explain where I have found
the material in this section.
First
the Psalms appointed for Matins and 2nd Evensong are from the table
of Psalms for Sundays in the 1928 BCP. Unfortunately, that table does not have Psalms
appointed for the 1st Evensong of Sunday, so I simply took the
Psalms for Evensong the week before and used them for the 1st
Evensong. So the Psalms for 1st Evensong of the First Sunday in
advent are the same as the Psalms for 2nd Evensong of the Sunday
Next Before Advent.
The
readings come from the 1928 daily office lectionary.
The
Antiphons for the Benedictus and Magnificat came from several online sources,
including but not limited to: St. Gregory Orthodox Church in DC which has its
antiphoner online and the blog, On the
Road to Emmaus. I thank them both for putting these resources online. I do not
of course mean to say we should take their work without compensation or
alteration. The point of this book is to show what is possible, not to advocate
every detail.
The Graduals, Alleluias, and Tracts also come from
various online sources.
The Mass readings for week days come from an English
translation of the Sarum Missal.
As other things come up I will make a note of it.
