A practical introduction to ancient chant notation

Robert Fowells’s handbook connects early neumes—the marks that preceded modern square chant notation—with the study of Gregorian chant. It introduces their practical and symbolic meanings alongside rhythm, melody, and the basics of Latin pronunciation. Selected chants from the Graduale Triplex serve as examples for exploring possible interpretations of the neumes, giving the book a hands-on connection to the notation found in early chant manuscripts. The volume also points toward working with the Graduale Triplex and Offertoriale Triplex, which present manuscript notation above the standard square notation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults beginning to study ancient neumes and chant notation
  • Chant singers seeking support with rhythm, melody, and Latin pronunciation
  • Readers using the Graduale Triplex or Offertoriale Triplex

Book overview

A book introducing the earliest neumes which were the precursors to the current-day square chant notation. This is a wonderful resource leading to the use of the Graduale Triplex and Offertoriale Triplex, two chant books which contain notation from the earliest chant manuscripts printed above the standard square notation.

Enjoy learning about the ancient notation with Dr. Robert Fowell's handbook: Chant Made Simple: An introduction to the Ancient Neumes. Dr. Fowells shares insights on the practical and symbolic meanings of the ancient neumes, as well as the rhythm, melody, and basics of Latin pronunciation. He takes a selection of well-known chants, from the Graduale Triplex, and uses these as teaching tools, offering probable interpretations of the ancient neumes while learning these pieces.
