St. Gregory and the Gregorian Music
Wyatt, E. G. P. (Edward Gerald Penfold)
Gregorian chants -- History and criticism; Gregory I, Pope, approximately 540-604
The fourth portrait (_opposite page_ 24) is taken from a MS. of _The
Dialogues of St. Gregory_ (_Harl._ 3011), at the British Museum, _f._ 69
v., at the end of the 3rd book. The background is bright green, with a
brown border round it. It is a brown-ink drawing, with some yellow wash.
The inscription above it is _Teodericus depinxit hanc imaginem Gregorium
patrem_. It exemplifies once again the symbol of the dove, which is here
evidently not connected specially with the musical work of St. Gregory,
but with his literary efforts as a whole.

2. To publish fac-similes of important MSS., translations of foreign
works on the subject, adaptations of the Plainsong to the English Use,
and such other works as may be desirable.
3. To form a catalogue of all Plainsong and Measured Music in England,

4. To form a throughly proficient Choir of limited numbers, with which
to give illustrations of Plainsong and Mediaeval Music.
