( I had wondered why the Liber only provided for those feasts) <br /><br />I suppose thie might explain why in the Mercedarian chant books (Well, I've only ever seen one) The only feasts provided with a full office were Our Lady of Mercy, St.Peter Nolasco and St.Laurence.

Not un-coincidentally, those are the feasts which are provided for in the Liber. The Benedictines and Dominicans had maybe a dozen or so feasts during the year for which they would be sung. Only the Carthusians sang them daily, and they *did* sing very slowly.Paul Goingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479425203740052841noreply@blogger.com
