| Abstract | This book is a comprehensive study of Mozarabic chant. The first section presents a descriptive catalogue of the surviving sources of Mozarabic chant, a brief survey of the history of the Visigothic, Mozarabic liturgy up to the time of its suppression in the late eleventh century, and a discussion of the different neumatic notations used for the chant with a number of tentative attempts at transcription of the melodies. The second section explores the structure and usage of the chants. |
