O vos omnes
General Information
This text (from Lamentations 1:12) exists in a shorter form, as an antiphon, and a longer form, as a responsory (the fifth of the nine responsories for Matins of Holy Saturday).
A responsory is a sung response to a Scripture reading. It has two parts: a respond and a versicle. After the versicle (indicated below by V. and usually sung by a single voice or a smaller group), the second part of the respond (indicated below by a bullet) is repeated.
