Subject: RE: O Antiphons: summary
The ecclesiastical composer Healey Willan ("English by birth, Canadian by adoption, Irish by extraction, Scotch by absorption") made a wonderful faux-bourdon arrangement of the "O" antiphons that is in regular use in Anglo-Cat churches in Canada. I've sung it myself several times; it's quite spooky.
