Product Description
•••••
This is one of the most important writings about Gregorian chant and makes clear the role of the modes in the study of chant. Beautifully organized and written by Dom Daniel Saulnier, a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Solesmes, France, the book is divided into two parts: Modality, which describes the history and evolution of the modes, and The Gregorian Octoechos (the system of eight modes in which Gregorian chant fits) that is a comprehensive study of each of the modes. Based on studies undertaken by Dom Jean Claire (1920-2006) and Father Jean Jeanneteau (1908-1992).
The Gregorian Modes uses charts and numerous musical examples (all of which are referenced by a handy index) to underscore all of Dom Saulnier’s explanations, making what seems difficult into an accessible and useful volume. This is ideal for both the scholar and student of chant alike.
