Project combining edition of Divine Office chants from Bohemian medieval manuscripts and composition of tunes for recently introduced Latin liturgical texts in order to allow fully chanted Divine Office on feasts proper to the Czech and Moravian dioeceses.
Apart of a post-Vatican II proper common to the whole Czech Republic, a pre-Vatican II proper of the Prague province (alone) is being prepared, as both share a significant amount of textual material.
A comparative edition of notated chants for the feasts in question from Bohemian medieval manuscripts as well as edition of liturgical texts of the feasts, documenting their development, are being prepared as prerequisites for creation of the abovementioned practical editions.
- pieces present in the 20th century chant editions: take version from the edition of the period in question (Vatican edition for the pre-Vatican II proper, most recent Solesmes edition for the post-Vatican II proper)
- pieces present in medieval Bohemian manuscripts: take best version selected by a critical comparison of known sources
- texts missing a musical setting:
- as a replacement (cf. GILH 274) offer a piece from ancient formularies of the same feast (if available)
- always provide a setting of the official text
