The origin and development of Western plainchant, and of the genres of liturgical book in which it is recorded, have occupied Michel Huglo throughout his long career, which has taken him to libraries in every corner of Europe and the United States. This volume, the first in a set of four to appear in the Variorum series, brings together analyses of manuscripts dating from the 9th to the 13th century, including Huglo's pathbreaking studies of the antiphoner of Compiegne, the first troper-prosers, and of alleluia lists as clues to place of origin. The consequences of the Treaty of Verdun (843) for the diffusion of the plainchant repertory, research in medieval musicology in the 20th century, the utility of codicology for musicological manuscript studies, and the critical edition of the Gregorian antiphoner are addressed in other studies included here. Les origines et le developpement du plain-chant en Occident et l'etude des genres de livres liturgiques qui le contiennent ont occupe Michel Huglo durant sa longue carriere et l'ont conduit A visiter des bibliotheques partout en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Ce volume, le premier d'une serie de quatre dans la collection Variorum, comprend des analyses de manuscrits du neuvieme au treizieme siecle, notamment des etudes novatrices relanAant les recherches sur l'antiphonaire de Compiegne, les premiers tropaires-prosaires et les listes d'alleluias comme moyen d'identification des manuscrits de chant. Les consequences du traite de Verdun (843) pour la diffusion du repertoire de plain-chant, les recherches en musicologie medievale au XXe siecle, l'application des methodes de la codicologie A l'etude des manuscrits notes, et l'edition critique de l'Antiphonaire gregorien forment les sujets d'autres etudes reunies dans ce volume.

This is the third in a set of four collections of articles by Michel Huglo to be published in the Variorum series. It brings together the studies of Gregorian chant and of later monophonic and polyphonic additions to the earlier repertory that occupied Huglo in the second phase of his research. Represented here are articles on the Kyrie, the introit tropes of St-Gall, an elegy for William the Conqueror (d. 1087), the versus by Venantius Fortunatus for the cathedral of Paris, the liturgical dramas of Fleury, early organum, the Mass of Tournai, and, finally, the Requiem by Eustache Du Caurroy. Ce volume des articles de Michel Huglo est le troisieme de la serie de quatre dans la collection Variorum. Il reunit des etudes sur le chant gregorien et sur les additions de pieces monodiques ou polyphoniques faites au repertoire primitif, sujets qui ont occupe Michel Huglo dans la seconde phase de sa carriere de chercheur. Dans ce volume, le lecteur trouvera des articles sur le Kyrie, les tropes d'introA-t de St-Gall, l'elegie pour Guillaume le Conquerant (d. 1087), les versus de Venance Fortunat pour la cathedrale de Paris, les drames liturgiques de Fleury, les debuts de l'organum, la Messe de Tournai, et finalement le Requiem d'Eustache Du Caurroy.

The differences between Old-Roman, Ambrosian, Aquileian, Gallican, and Hispanic chant, and their interconnections with each other and the Gregorian chant occupied Michel Huglo in his early career, although he returned to these questions in the 1980s and 1990s. The present volume, the second in the set of four to be published in the Variorum series, brings all this work together. Huglo's 1954 article, the first to describe the sources for Old Roman chant, recognized as distinct from Gregorian chant, is of primary significance for the historiography of Western plainchant, because it opened the debate on the relationship between Old Roman and Gregorian chant. The final section presents articles on the Latin version of the Akathistos hymn and on Byzantine chants translated into Latin that became part of the Western plainchant repertory. Les differences entre les repertoires Vieux-romain, Ambrosien, Aquileien, Gallican et Hispanique, leurs influences reciproques et leurs relations avec le chant gregorien ont occupe Michel Huglo au debut de sa carriere: il revint sur ces questions dans les annees 1980 et 1990. Ce volume, le deuxieme d'une serie de quatre dans la collection Variorum, reunit toutes ces etudes. L'article de 1954 de Michel Huglo sur les sources du chant Vieux-romain, considere comme distinct du gregorien, est de premiere importance pour l'historiographie du plain-chant occidental, car il a ouvert les debats sur le rapport entre Vieux-romain et gregorien. Les articles sur la version latine de l'Hymne Acathiste et sur les pieces de chant byzantin traduites en latin dans les repertoires occidentaux du plain-chant achevent ce volume.

This is the final volume in the set of four collections of Michel Huglo's articles to be published in the Variorum series, and focuses on medieval music theory. The point of departure for Huglo's research was his doctoral dissertation on tonaries, published in 1971: as a consequence, he studied the manuscripts of music theory concerning plainchant, and, later, those with writings on music by authors of Late Antiquity as well as the Liber glossarum, with its many definitions of musical terms. In this volume, certain articles consider the interpretation or dissemination of texts, instruction in the art of plainchant, and musical instruction at the university. Others concern the manuscripts of St Augustine's De musica and of the writings of Calcidius, Macrobius, Helisachar, Hucbald, Gerbert of Aurillac, Abbo of Fleury, John of Afflighem, and Hieronymus de Moravia, amongst others. The volume closes with a bibliography of Michel Huglo complementing that published in 1993 and a summary list of his reviews of books on music and liturgy. Ce volume des articles de Michel Huglo termine la serie de quatre dans la collection Variorum. Il est centre sur la theorie musicale medievale. Le point de depart des recherches de Michel Huglo sur la theorie musicale du Moyen A'ge est forme par sa these sur les tonaires, editee en 1971: en consequence il etudia les manuscrits de theorie musicale concernant le plain-chant et, plus tard, les auteurs de l'Antiquite tardive et le Liber glossarum qui contient des definitions de nombreux termes musicaux. Dans ce volume, certains articles traitent de l'interpretation ou de la dissemination des textes, des instructions sur l'art du chant, et sur l'enseignement de la musique A l'Universite. Ils concernent les manuscrits du De musica d'Augustin, de Calcidius, Macrobe, Helisachar, Hucbald, Gerbert d'Aurillac, Abbon de Fleury, Jean d'Afflighem, Hieronymus de Moravia, et d'autres auteurs. Enfin, ce volume contient la bibliographie de

Comparative studies of medieval chant traditions in western Europe, Byzantium and the Slavic nations illuminate music, literacy and culture. Gregorian chant was the dominant liturgical music of the medieval period, from the time it was adopted by Charlemagne's court in the eighth century; but for centuries afterwards it competed with other musical traditions, local repertories from the great centres of Rome, Milan, Ravenna, Benevento, Toledo, Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Kievan Rus, and comparative study of these chant traditions can tell us much about music, liturgy, literacy and culture a thousand years ago. This is the first book-length work to look at the issues in a global, comprehensive way, in the manner of the work of Kenneth Levy, the leading exponent of comparative chant studies. It covers the four most fruitful approaches for investigators: the creation and transmission of chant texts, based on the psalms and other sources, and their assemblage into liturgical books; the analysis and comparison of musical modes and scales; the usesof neumatic notation for writing down melodies, and the differences wrought by developmental changes and notational reforms over the centuries; and the use of case studies, in which the many variations in a specific text or melodyare traced over time and geographical distance. The book is therefore of profound importance for historians of medieval music or religion - Western, Byzantine, or Slavonic - and for anyone interested in issues of orality and writing in the transmission of culture.
