Composite manuscript with spiritual and liturgical music
Description
The manuscript contains principally the chants for the liturgy of
the Hours (response and antiphones), and also some chants of the
Ordinary (in a part with tropes), hymns, and sequences, and
spiritual chants in Latin and German. In all, six chants (p. 87-89,
103, 107) are for two or three voices. In this case, the voices are
not noted one under another, but one after another. The spiritual
chants are written with a mensural notation, and the other
liturgical pieces in German plainsong notation, the so-called
German “Hufnagelnotation”.
