I've learned to sing the entire office that can be sung (opening responses, psalms, lessons, canticles and collects) from a plainchant psalter. There's an excellent one out using the 1928 BCP called the St. Dustan's Psalter. See http://www.andrewespress.com/dunstan.html

It includes some gems like a chanted version of the Athanasian Creed.

You might want to check out the Hymnals. There are both chant and song settings for the Morning, Evening, and Eucharistic offices. Looking in the 1982 Hymnal I didn't find the Athanasian Creed, but I did find the Nicene Creed in about 3 settings. This is all in the front of the Hymnal; the numbers begin with "S". I have a 1940 Hymnal at Church that I'll look in (it was my mother's from when she sang in the Choir) on Sunday; I'm quite sure there are service settings in there as well (and even a 2-page guide to chanting that I copied out for our choirmaster to give to the choir).
