In 1945, a number of different American Lutheran synods came together to produce a new hymnal, one based upon the Common Service of 1888. After 13 years of labor, the Service Book and Hymnal was completed and published. It immediately became the hymnal of choice for the churches of the AELC, ALC, Augustana Synod, ELC, Finnish Suomi Synod, Lutheran Free Church, UELC, and ULCA (all of whom eventually ended up, through a series of mergers, in the ELCA). In order to help introduce the hymnal to these synods, a set of records was published, with recordings of each of the three settings of the Mass. The recordings of the first setting have already been posted. The second setting, which is the focus of this post, was based on a setting of the Swedish Mass, as arranged by Regina Fryxell. It has been called "one of the high points in Lutheran liturgical music." Listen and enjoy (and many thanks to swedishlutheran for uploading these).

As he did for SBH setting one, Stefan Gramenz put together a YouTube playlist for setting two. The playlist for setting two can be found here.
Thank you so much for posting this on the web. It was great to relive the faith formation that I received through Setting 2. It was great to get a refresher on the Nunc Dimittis, as I plan to use it for Candlemas.
