Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the existence of a genuine rhythmic tradition that existed in the Middle Ages. Through in-depth examinations of selected ancient chant manuscripts, the author demonstrates that there was a widespread and meticulous effort made to preserve particular melodic phrasing and tempo indications for liturgical music across many centuries. The author supports this position by comparing different versions of the manuscript Alleluia Ostende nobis to demonstrate that there was a cohesive tradition that spanned at least two hundred years. This research has crucial implications for contemporary Gregorian chant performances and will be of significant interest to musicians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of Western music.
