Description
Summary:Since monks were encouraged to read the Fathers, they must have been familiar with the edifying patristic commentaries on the psalms, not to mention the tituli psalmorum, which identified the speaker of the psalm and indicated how it was to be prayed.5 One of the most insightful sections of Fuhrmanns book (5.2) takes up the psychagogical model of music embraced by medieval piety. [...]the closest comparisons that may be made with the notation of the frammento principale are with scribe S in F-Pn 6771 and with I-Fn 26. Because many fewer discrete chants survive than do text versions, Hardie posits that local text traditions may have been used interchangeably with the available melodies. Because of this, various interpretations of the rhythm can be judged without the misleadingly authoritative appearance of a single rhythmic version imposed by the editor.
