Claim justified about the text of Beata Progenies

At Leonel Power's motet Beata Progenies, the editor notes that it is a Matins Responsory for Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Can someone substantiate that? I have been searching in vain for the "Matins Responsory" text, because I can't find it in my Office.

The Cantus database at
https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/chant/153371
indicates that the sequence Beata progenies is for "Nativitas Mariae".

Thank you.


Does the fact that I can't find the text in my Breviary mean that it used to be used, but isn't any longer, or that I'm as blind as a bat, or something else?
