Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.This is the story of the sung prayers of the Ordinary of the Mass across the two millennia of Catholic history, and the story of those who were involved in their development and musico-liturgical formats. The sung parts are traced from their beginnings, down through the centuries, through their plainchant congregational loss in the renaissance-reformation years, and their restoration as the "peoples' part(s)" in the twentieth century, especially by the Second Vatican Council. At the same time the book links the sung prayers with the development of Western music theory and notation.
