A distinguished group of chant scholars examine the formation of the liturgy, issues of theory and notation, and Carolingian and post-Carolingian chant. Special studies include the origins of musical notations, the nuances of early chant performance, musical style and liturgical structure in the early Divine Office, and new sources for Old-Roman chant.
