Toni capitulum et orationum - how to sing the Little Chapter and Collects in the Divine Office
Hi, I'm Veronica - I've made a course on how to sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I had to learn a bunch of stuff and this is the latest piece in the puzzle.
Making this video was a little more challenging than usual, and I ended up starting all over again, so if you sign up for my course you'll notice the videos over there are a little more clear and concise. As this draft video wasn't too bad either, I release it to you for free, also to explain why I've changed some of the ways I sing the Office.
You can find more about the Little Office on my website:

This is the tune for the Passiontide hymn, Vexilla Regis, set to the words for the Benediction hymn O Salutaris Hostia.

Day 11 / 100 day Gregorian chant challenge
Back to Communion verses as an easy option, though this one has an accidental, so maybe not the easiest one this Sunday.
CUM vénerit Paráclitus Spíritus veritátis, ille árguet mundum de peccáto, et de justítia, et de judício, allelúia, allelúia.
When the Paraclete, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will convince the world of sin, and of justice and of judgement, alleluia, alleluia.

I'm singing this first thing in the morning, as that is when it's quiet here. Vespers is an evening prayer, so that might explain why I had more difficulty than usual. I've left in bits of my bewilderment with the Benedicamus at the end, though I must have figured it out before when I recorded Lauds.
