James Grier documents the musical activities of Ademar de
Chabannes, eleventh-century monk, historian, homilist and tireless
polemicist for the apostolic status of Saint Martial, patron saint
of the abbey that bore his name in Limoges. Ademar left behind some
451 folios of music with notation in his autograph hand, a musical
resource without equal before the seventeenth century. He
introduced, at strategic moments, pieces familiar from the standard
liturgy for an apostle and items of his own composition. These
reveal Ademar to be a supremely able designer of liturgies and a
highly original composer. This study analyses his accomplishments
as a musical scribe, compiler of liturgies, editor of existing
musical works and composer; it also offers a speculative
consideration of his abilities as a singer; and finally, it places
Ademar's musical activities in the context of liturgical, musical
and political developments at the abbey of Saint Martial in
Limoges.
