OLY WEEK AS REVISED by Pope Pius XII only lasted a very short time, because Vatican II changed the liturgy again. The revisions by Pius XII were optional in 1951, and then imposed in 1955 upon all western churches. On 11 October 1962, the Second Vatican Council began. Therefore, many items have never been written out, and here’s one of them you’ll need:

If I have time, I’ll excerpt the Good Friday pages, too, because I noticed some funky melodies in English which I can almost guarantee were never sung anywhere by anyone.
