PREFACE.

The original conception of this little book was due to the Rev. W. H.
Frere, and it could not have been carried out at all without his help and
advice, which have been ungrudgingly given.

But he is not responsible for any part of the book, except the notes on
the tropes and the third and fourth portraits of St. Gregory. Whatever
else in the book is of any value has been compiled from the following
sources:--

Morin.--"Les veritables origines du Chant Gregorien." Maredsous,
1890.
Morin.--"Revue Benedictine," for May, 1890. Maredsous.
Wagner.--"Einfuehrung in die Gregorianischen Melodien," Pt. 1.
Freiburg, 1901.
Frere.--"Graduale Sarisburiense." Plainsong and Mediaeval Music
Society, London, 1894.
"Paleographie Musicale," Vols. v. and vi. Solesmes, 1896.
"Rassegna Gregoriana," for March-April, June, and July, 1903. Rome.

E. G. P. WYATT.
