Nocturnale

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nocturnale Romanum ( from nocturnus "nocturnal") is the liturgical book of the Roman Catholic Church for the Matutin (also Vigil ) of the Roman rite . It is also called Matutinale . Its counterpart forms the Diurnale that the Horen of Tagesoffiziums of the Laudes to Komplet contains. Nocturnale and Diurnale are primarily intended for the common singing of choral prayer in monastic communities. Like the hearing of the day to be prayedBreviers , the Nocturnale with the Apostolic Constitution Divini afflatu of November 1, 1911, was fundamentally revised by Pope Pius X.

A Nocturnale Romanum contains all the texts of the nocturnals of the night office according to the rite of the Roman Catholic Church , the Gregorian chants in square notation : the changing versions of the invitatory , the psalms (in the translation of the Vulgate ), 500 antiphons , 750 responsoria prolixa and numerous hymns .

Even after the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council , new editions of the book were made. So appeared in 2002 , the Nocturnale Roman: Antiphonale sacrosanctae Romanae ecclesiae per Nocturnis horis ( "the Holy Roman Church for the nocturnal hours Antiphonale", 1360 pages), created by Holger Peter Sandhofe with a greeting by Cardinal Paul Augustin Mayer OSB . The Latin-German version published by Martin Ramm in 2016/2019 represents the state of 1960, before the liturgical reform.

The Carthusian Order is the only monk order to celebrate the nocturnal vigil as the longest of all hours from 11:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., while in other orders it is performed in a shorter form on the morning before lauds . The Carthusians have published the texts of the nocturnes in two volumes, which they call Antiphonarium nocturnum and Psalterium nocturnum .
