Excerpt from Recent Research in Plainsong: A Paper Read to the Members of the Plainsong and Mediæval Music Society It is proposed in this paper to examine briefly into the present state of our knowledge as to the musical structure of Plainsong. Until about twenty years since, when the Benedictine monks of Solesmes began to publish the results of their systematic study of the music, theories on the art were founded mostly on conjecture. The reason for this was that the chant was composed more than two centuries before the earliest and very rudimentary treatise on the subject was written; that the few later works treated of things from a different point of view to ours, so that they are not very easy to understand; and that by the time writers become more in accord with us moderns, say the fifteenth century, the rendering of Plainsong had become so corrupted that all theoretical treatises were completely worthless. Practically, therefore, all that we have to work upon is the music itself, with some vague indications in treatises of about the ninth century, which may or may not be comprehensible, and may often be twisted to mean anything we like. The notation in which the music has come down to us is in four forms - viz., the Alphabetic, the Dasian, the Neumatic, and the Square notation. The alphabetic is but rarely met with, and was probably only used for instruction books. The Dasian is used in the MSS. formerly attributed to Hucbald, but these only contain a few examples illustrating the treatises. The neumatic was the notation in general use down to the eleventh century, when it was gradually converted into the ordinary square notation. Now this last shows us exactly the notes to be sung, but very little more. If properly printed in the style of all MSS. until the sixteenth century, the phrasing is fairly well indicated, and it acts very serviceably, far better than modern notation, for singers acquainted with the spirit of Plainsong; but by itself it is as useless as "Rule, Britannia," written in minims would be. But when this square notation is collated with its forerunner, the neumatic, a different state of things appears. The square notation shows only the notes; the neumatic shows none of the notes but almost everything else that converts notes into music. The approximate time value (all that can be given in recitative), the phrasing, the expression, all is given in the neums as clearly as in a modern composition.

Excerpt from The Elements of Plainsong: Compiled From a Series of Lectures, Delivered Before the Members of the Plainsong Mediæval Music Society Plate I. - Leaf from a combined Antiphonal and Gradual of the Ambrosian Use of the 11th century. British Museum. Add. MSS. 34,209. Octavo. The MS. contains the Pars œstivalis and Pars vernalis i.e. from Advent to Easter with the exception of 5 leaves lost at the beginning and 1 after f. 22. The passage selected is taken from the 2nd Sunday in Advent and contains the Psalmellus "A summo cœlo" to a melody which is apparently the origin of the Gregorian Gradual to the same words. The notes throughout the MS. are finely written on a staff of three lines, which are scratched on the vellum, with an additional line occasionally inserted between two of the original ones. All the letters from a to g are used in turn as signatures, the f line being coloured red, the c yellow and, occasionally, the b green. Plate II. - Leaf from the Winchester Ethelred Troper of the 10th century. Bodleian Library - Bodley 775. Octavo. At the fifth line begins the Kyrie Jesu Redemptor, and at the ninth the Kyrie, Rex Splendens. Plate III. - Leaf from a Gradual of the 12th century from S. Alban's Abbey. British Mus. - 2 B iv. Octavo. The page selected shows the melody of Kyrie Rex splendens. Plate IV. - Leaf from a Psalter with Antiphons of the early 14th century. British Museum - Arundel 83. Folio. The volume is a fine example of English Illumination, and was apparently written for a member of the Royal Family. It afterwards came into the possession of the Howard family, probably through John Fox, whose name is on the flyleaf, and who was tutor in 1546 to Thomas Howard, afterwards 4th Duke of Norfolk.
