The Hispanic rite, a medieval non-Roman Western liturgy, was
practiced across the Iberian Peninsula for over half a millennium
and functioned as the most distinct marker of Christian identity in
this region. As Christians typically began every liturgical day
throughout the year by singing a vespertinus, this chant genre in
particular provides a unique window into the cultural and religious
life of medieval Iberia. The Hispanic rite has the largest corpus
of extant manuscripts of all non-Roman liturgies in the West, which
testifies to the importance placed on their transmission through
political and cultural upheavals. Its chants, however, use a
notational system that lacks clear specification of pitch and has
kept them barred from in-depth study. Text, Liturgy and Music in
the Hispanic Rite is the first detailed analysis of the
interactions between textual, liturgical, and musical variables
across the entire extant repertoire of a chant genre central to the
Hispanic rite, the vespertinus. By approaching the vespertini
through a holistic methodology that integrates liturgy, melody, and
text, author Raquel Rojo Carrillo identifies the genre's norms and
traces the different shapes it adopts across the liturgical year
and on different occasions. In this way, the book offers an
unprecedented insight into the liturgical edifice of the Hispanic
rite and the daily experience of Christians in medieval Iberia.
