The area whose capital was the southern Lombard city of Benevento
developed a culture identified with the characteristic form of
writing known as the Beneventan script, which was used throughout
the area and was brought to perfection at the abbey of Montecassino
in the late eleventh century. This repertory, along with other
now-vanished or suppressed local varieties of music, give a far
richer picture of the variety of musical practice in early medieval
Europe than was formerly available. Thomas Forrest Kelly has
identified and collected the surviving sources of an important
repertory of early medieval music; this is the so-called Beneventan
Chant, used in southern Italy in the early middle ages, before the
adoption there of the now-universal music known as Gregorian chant.
Because it was deliberately suppressed in the course of the
eleventh century, this music survives mostly in fragments and
palimpsests, and the fascinating process of restoring the repertory
piece by piece is told in the studies in this book. A companion
volume to this collection also by Professor Kelly details the
practice of Medieval music.
