05:53 Now what can we do to sing it?
06:19 Step One: Know a few basic hymn tunes.
06:49 The "8.8.8" at the bottom means "long meter." There are several you can learn.
08:17 The difference between "long meter" and "common meter."
09:08 An example of 8.8.8.8
09:57 8.8.8.8. means eight syllables, not notes.
10:14 The Recto Tono option.
10:57 The Monastic Reciting Tone
12:30 The Psalms using just one tone to get started.
12:55 Let's pray an office together using what we just learned.
Mid-Afternoon Prayer
12:57 Oh God, come to my assistance.
13:18 Hymn (8.8.8.8 long meter): "Iam surgit hora tertia," Saint Ambrose, 340-397, Translation © 2023 ICEL
14:15 Psalm 119v25-32 (Tone 8)
15:18 Psalm 26 (Tone 8)
16:42 Psalm 28v1-3, 6-9 (Tone 8)
18:11 Reading: Acts 5v41-42
18:33 Responsory
18:51 Concluding Prayers
Debrief On What We Just Did
18:24 Let's break it down a little
18:34 But first 3 announcements:
1. 18:37 Come to our retreat!! lothretreat.my.canva.site/
2. 19:51 Tune in to our Pentecost Vigil! Or come out to Our Lady of Good Voyage in Boston.
3. 20:15 Boston LotH Retreat - TBD 2024
20:37 Back to the debrief
20:44 If you're with a priest or deacon, they should lead in the prayer.
20:45 Generally you should stand up if praying in a group.
21:16 The antiphon for the Psalmody for daytime prayer (especially in Eastertide) is "Alleluia."
21:40 We did this all in Tone 8. There are no antiphons in the middle of daytime prayer.
21:50 We skipped the Psalm prayers because they're not actually part of the official text.
22:15 We usually do the "Gloria" in Latin.
22:32 The "Responsory" tune we use is the same one we use all throughout the Easter season.
22:48 The priest should always do the concluding prayer. And hold the phone for them!
23:07 Acclamation is going to be updated.
23:27 Wrap Up! We did a chant and a rant!
23:40 A Ceremonial Cheers
23:44 Stop by St. Paul's and say hello to Fr. Nate!
24:07 The sound of refreshment.

YO theres this really cool guy at harvard named Suan Sonna, he typically does scholarly work(intellectual catholicism on youtube) but he was in the prenovitiate with the dominicans so im sure he would love to sing the hours with you

Congrats on the baby❤

I’m going to apply this… in Spanish😅 muchas gracias por todas estas indicaciones
I suspect I have ADHD I found it interesting you mentioned reading books in tone in HS and college I used to read books I thought were boring in tones in help my brain focus.
Congratulations! The gift of life in Christ, and "the new assignment"! I love the "sing the hours", and passed on awareness of this beautiful production to our chapter of the OFS I aspire to join. What a beautiful way to celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours. Thank you, both!
This was great! Especially the education about metrical tunes! In the future i hope you expand on this topic of metrical hymns, like your favorites each season, and the tunes you recommend Im having this difficulty with the Latin hymns i want to sing with traditional divine office; a long tune works for a text but it's too cheerful 😅 and doesn't fit the meaning, so id like to gather flexible tunes
I’m going to seminary in August. I’m getting a dumb phone. Do you recommend purchasing an office of readings or wait until they update the divine office hours?

Happily many parishes are ditching the “On Eagles Wings” and “Gift of Finest Wheat” crap.
I use Bishop Barons monthly LofTH … but your Hymms never match those you sing. Why??

More of this please! Thank you - very helpful. I've tried singing the hours using the Breviary app - but failed. I'll try again. One question please - why is there a cross printed, in certain places, next to the text?

It's not a cross, it's a "dagger," † it means to follow a different intonation, notice how when we sing the psalms I put the "pointings" up on the top right of the screen. Notice there is a corresponding dagger and star in the notes. If there is a triplet of lines then you do the "flex" pointings, going down two notes in this case, before returning to the usual tone.

Thank you, that makes sense. I'll use the marks when I next chant.
How to use Christian prayer one volume or the four volume Liturgy if the Hours is the dilema. No matter how it’s explained 🤪
I clicked a thumbs up and it remained 0…?
You do realize its H20, of two Hydrogen 😂 Thank you for the life update + rant

Scholars debate. 😆
You put too much emphasis on chanting and singing. While the GILH highly encourages singing and chanting, it isn't necessary. You make me feel like my prayer is suboptimal because you never say that recitation is okay. I recite the LotH because I am not musically inclined. Attempting to sing and chant detracts from my prayer because I'm emphasizing the wrong thing. You should make it clear that pure recitation is acceptable to the Lord our God.

I think the point he’s getting at that it is something to try and you don’t need much to get started. He even gives those recto tono and reciting tones just to try to demonstrate that you don’t have to have a good singing voice to sing the hours. Yes, of course you can recite it.

@@dadrifter0912 He needs to say that singing, chanting, recto tono is all unnecessary. The LotH can be prayed without any music whatsoever. Chanting/Singing is encouraged and not required. Otherwise, he is excluding people like me who like all music ability and want to focus on prayer rather than attempting so sing.

@@dubarnik What good does the validation of one youtuber have upon an youtube commenter’s preference? The General Instruction for the Liturgy of the Hours already permits it.
