The tradition of Old Hispanic liturgical chant is here examined
through a new methodology, enabling striking new insights into its
use. Medieval Iberian liturgical practice was independent of the
Roman liturgy. As such, its sources preserve an unfamiliar and
fascinating devotional journey through the liturgical year.
However, although Old Hispanic liturgical chanthas long been
considered one of the most important medieval chant traditions,
what musical notation to survive shows only where the melodies rise
and fall, not precise intervals or pitches. This lack of
pitch-readable notation has prevented scholars from fully engaging
with the surviving sources - a gap which this book aims to fill,
via a new methodology for analysing the melodies and the
relationship between melody and text. Focussing on three genres of
chant sung during the Old Hispanic Lent (the threni, psalmi, and
Easter Vigil canticles), the book takes a holistic view of the
texts and melodies, setting them in the context of their liturgical
and intellectual surroundings, and, for the Easter Vigil, exploring
the relationship between different Old Hispanic traditions and
other western liturgies. It concludes that the theologically
purposeful text selections combine with carefully shaped melodies
to guide the devotional practice of their hearers. Emma Hornby is a
Reader in Music , University of Bristol; Rebecca Maloy is Associate
Professor of Music, University of Colorado at Boulder.
