Comments:
Information from owned LP (HMB).
It is noteworthy to include here an excerpt of the text appearing on back of the sleeve:
A lively hymn, Rex sempiterne Domine, forms the transition between the responsorial and the antiphonal psalmody. (To maintain the balance on the two sides of the recording it has been necessary to carry over on Side 2 the entire liturgical section which precedes the actual drama) ....
So the Play itself has been misplaced on purpose. My understanding is that the exact order is [1], [3]-[6], [2]-[3], [7]-[8].
