Summary/Abstract: The author examines the phenomenon of arranging antiphons of the Liturgy of the Hours by Gregorian tones (modi). The central question is whether or not the antiphons ad Magnificat, ad Nunc dimittis and ad Benedictus should be seen as part of a series of antiphons in modal order. According to the author, the accompanying examples confirm the thesis of those three antiphons being part of a series of modal order.
