Prime of Advent - Office 2

The second track on the planned Little Office CD for Advent.This is the hour of Prime - the hour which didn’t get carried across from the Divine Office into the Liturgy of the Hours. Prime means “First”, but it isn’t listed first in any books I’ve come across. At daybreak this hour is sung. In the full Office it finishes with a recitation of the Martyrology for the following day - a good practice even if the Little Office doesn’t require it.As always, you can find the booklets at https://littleoffice.brandt.id.au/#bookletsKeen ears might hear how I mistakenly used the incipit tune beginning for the last Gloria Patri in the Psalms in the recording. I hope you forgive the mistake made in some sort of surge of gladness to be nearing the end of the track. These recordings aren’t perfect, but I hope they help.
