GREGORY AND THE GREGORIAN MUSIC BY E. G. P. WYATT [Illustration: THE PLAINSONG AND MEDIÆVAL MUSIC SOCIETY] PUBLISHED FOR THE PLAINSONG & MEDIÆVAL MUSIC SOCIETY. 1904. PRINTED BY SPRAGUE & CO., LTD., 4 & 5 EAST HARDING STREET, FETTER LANE, E.C., LONDON. 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 véritables origines du Chant Grégorien." Maredsous, 1890. Morin.--"Revue Bénédictine," for May, 1890. Maredsous. Wagner.--"Einführung in die Gregorianischen Melodien," Pt. 1. Freiburg, 1901. Frere.--"Graduale Sarisburiense." Plainsong and Mediæval Music Society, London, 1894. "Paléographie Musicale," Vols. v. and vi. Solesmes, 1896. "Rassegna Gregoriana," for March-April, June, and July, 1903. Rome. E. G. P. WYATT.
