Le radici della semiologia gregoriana

Abstract

It is generally accepted that Dom Eugène Cardine is the father of Gregorian semiology. However, his teaching is rarely associated directly with the liturgical and musical reforms that had been enacted at the Benedictine monastery in Solesmes at the turn of the twentieth century. This article outlines the important heritage that Dom Cardine inherited from his predecessors Dom Joseph Pothier and Dom André Mocquereau.
