It's difficult to find recordings at all of those chants. Over time a lot of traditions have been terminated.

Thank you for John's proemium. Catherine Emmerick foresaw a time of great tribulation when ceremonies would be shortened of that last part of capital importance... Looks like she prophesied correctly.
About the time when "ceremonies would be shortened of that last part of capital importance" -- are you referring to the Last Gospel at the end of mass? Not the disappearance of chant traditions?

Αγνή Παρθένε Δέσποινα,

Άχραντε Θεοτόκε,

Παρθένε Μήτηρ Άνασσα,

Πανένδροσέ τε πόκε.

O pure and virgin Lady,

O spotless Theotokos

O Virgin Queen and Mother

O dewy fleece most sacred.

Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.
Ad te Rex summe,
omnium Redemptor,
oculos nostros
sublevamus flentes:
exaudi, Christe,
supplicantum preces.
Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.
Dextera Patris,
lapis angularis,
via salutis,
ianua caelestis,
ablue nostri
maculas delicti.
Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.
Rogamus, Deus,
tuam maiestatem:
auribus sacris
gemitus exaudi:
crimina nostra
placidus indulge.
Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.
Tibi fatemur
crimina admissa:
contrito corde
pandimus occulta:
tua, Redemptor,
pietas ignoscat.
Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.
Innocens captus,
nec repugnans ductus;
testibus falsis
pro impiis damnatus
quos redemisti,
tu conserva, Christe.
Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi.

Huc sunt pauca sed matura verba pronuntiatione ecclesiastica lecta/dicta de rebus teologiae et de quibusdam aliis.
I don't know which is scarier -- the number of words of this that I understood, on first hearing, or the number of sentences I didn't understand.o_O
He speaks expressively, and that helps.

But, I would like to know -- is this the Roman pronunciation that the Church recommends?

It sounds to me more like the Italianate ecclesiastical pronunciation.
 
Is it possible to post this list on Wikipedia? I don't want to recommend something that has already been recommended.

Are you asking permission to share the list of chants and songs in this thread, by putting them onto a page in Wikipedia? Or what?

Stephen of Liège, Ad Matutinum: Responsoria: Gloria Patri - Summe Trinitati - Benedicamus Patri et Filio cum Sancto Spiritu (10 minutes).


According to Hello Music Theory, Stephen, was one of the earliest Mediaeval composers whose names we know. Born 850, he was Bishop of Liège 901-920. I learned that "Etienne" is the French form of "Stephen".

Sometimes. At other times it's Stéphane. French is like that.

I don't think there's actually a rule in the CIC about that. As long as we understand each other. But I'm curious What of that guy's pronunciation sounds strange to you? Because if it's the Rs the thing is reciprocal and both pronunciations are acceptable IMHO :D.
I and many other who use the Ecclesiastical pronunciation here (even teachers), often get the "accents" wrong e.g. phrases like these:
... Et iniquitates nostrae abstulerunt nos...
... Domus sanctificationis tuae et gloriae tuae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri"
and
"et mitte quem missurus es ut auferat ipse jugum captivitatis nostrae"
"noli timere, quare moerore consumeris?"

sometimes are (wrongly) read:
... Et iniquitates nostrae abstulerunt nos...
... Domus sanctificationis tuae et gloriae tuae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri"
and
"et mitte quem missurus es ut auferat ipse jugum captivitatis nostrae"
"noli timere, quare moerore consumeris?"
I think they get the pronunciation right, though.
