Vespers in Septuagesima / Lent

Evening prayer without Alleluia

Vespers, Vesperae, Evening Prayer for the time from Septuagesima Sunday through Ash Wednesday, First Sunday of Lent right through to Holy Thursday. The Little Office is not prayed publically over the Sacred Triduum, but if you were saying it privately, this is what you could use.

The Divine Office proper to the Sacred Triduum is pretty amazing though and well worth looking into. divinumofficium.com is a good place to start. Tenebrae is the most musical hour (Matins+Lauds) with many fine recordings available on Youtube. The rest are very pared back with minimal singing, but very beautiful in an austere way.

This recording is back in the house at night with some noise removal and filter curve equalising courtesy of Audacity.
