"Clearly, the setting of verse 2 in Haberl's publication is a variant of Palestrina's Nunc dimittis (a4) (Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina) of the ''Nunc dimittis'', and doesn't really belong with this 5-part setting. To those familiar with Carols for Choirs 2 (Oxford, 1970), this Nunc dimittis (and not a Magnificat as stated in Carols for Choirs 2) - and the plainsong tone upon which it is based - was used as the musical material for an arrangement of the Matin Responsory by David Willcocks. The principal material from which the arrangement of the Matin Responsory is taken is from the two halves of verse 2 (as provided by Haberl) and the first half of verse 4 with some adaptations."
