Formulari processionali per il canto del vangelo Liber generationis

Abstract

The singing of the Genealogy of Christ (Matt. 1,1–16) just after the end of Christmas first mass (missa in nocte) is sometimes associated with a processional chant (Hodie intacta, O mundi domina, and others). Tables in this article compare some melodies of both gospels (I-Pc E 1, 1170; F-Pn n.a. lat. 1535, GB-WO F.160, thirteenth c.; Missale Strigoniense, ante 1341; transcriptions by Joseph Pothier), and chants (HR-Zmk MR 72, thirteenth c.; A-KN 1010, A-KN 1013, F-Pn lat. 12044: twelfth c.; A-Gu 29, CH-E 611: fourteenth c.; SI-Lna 18, 1491), with references to their liturgical contexts.
