After the imposition of Gregorian chant upon most of Europe by the
authority of the Carolingian kings and emperors in the eighth and
ninth centuries, a large number of repertories arose in connection
with the new chant and its liturgy. Of these repertories, the
tropes, together with the sequences, represent the main creative
activity of European musicians in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh
centuries. Because they were not an absolutely official part of the
liturgy, as was Gregorian chant, they reflect local traditions,
particularly in terms of melody, and more so than the new pieces
that were composed at the time. In addition, the earlier layers of
tropes represent, in many cases, a survival of the pre local pre
Gregorian melodic traditions. This volume provides an introduction
to the study of tropes in the form of an extensive anthology of
major studies and a comprehensive bibliography and constitutes a
classic reference resource for the study of one of the most
important musico-liturgical genres of the central middle ages.
