About this book
Church music and papal history meet in E. G. P. Wyatt's study of Gregory I and the chant associated with his name. Published in 1904, the book opens with Gregory's early life in Rome, his years as a monk and his responsibilities as pope. Wyatt follows his concern with church administration, preaching and worship, placing the musical discussion within a broader account of his work.
The later argument considers how Roman chant spread to England and the Frankish Empire, and why surviving testimony appears after Gregory's lifetime. Wyatt examines old service books, the Latin scriptural texts used in chants and the reuse of earlier melodies in later offices.
