This channel provides a daily video of chanted Mattins as an aid in private prayer. --- I am a lay clerk -- a professional singer in an English cathedral or collegiate choir. Now living in North America, I no longer have the opportunity to sing the daily office in a Cathedral setting. I began looking for a way to do it on my own, and saw no sung daily office on the internet. I was also told by several of the laity that they would benefit from praying along with a recorded version of one of the daily office.
So, in January 2022, I decided to record and stream the daily office, beginning with daily Mattins. In time, if this proves to be a successful endeavour, I hope to add more than just my lone voice - perhaps organ, and even choir. However, my longer term goal is to be singing the daily office once again in a church setting.

Thankyou so much for all your efforts with this project. You have inspired me to acquire the divine worship breviary so I can pray evening prayer. Is there still no way of making a one off donation rather than a regular debit?
I discovered you today, as I was searching for Mattins for Holy Week. You have an excellent voice and a strong chant. I hope that you continue to post these - they are a fantastic aid in prayer, especially during the morning commute. God bless and thank you. I wish you best of luck in your search.
Have you thought of Making an app for the ordinariate office just as there is a LOTH app from Divine Office? This would be a great service to the church!
This is great to listen to. I have been listening to cradle of prayer while in the gym and using divine worship daily office when praying by book. Having an audio version of DW:DO is a real plus.
