Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of Plainsong also known as Gregorian Chant, a rich and diverse system of sacred music that was developed over centuries by the medieval Church. Reflecting its origins, its scales and modes are distinct from Western music but nevertheless comprise its foundation. The author analyses the key characteristics of Plainsong, examining its tonality and rhythm through the lens of historical research and careful scrutiny of original manuscripts. In doing so, the complex relationship between the music and the Latin texts it was designed to accompany is made clear. This book provides a profound understanding of Plainsong, helping readers appreciate its beauty and historical significance. It is an invaluable resource for musicians, scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of Western music. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
