| Added by anan, 18 Mar 2019 This fragment of high spiritual inspiration, which seems to precede the times of several centuries, implies a question that historians of music have always posed: how much the Roman (or rather Greco-Roman) tradition of pagan religious singing - of which little or nothing is known - has influenced the birth of the Gregorian Christian chant. Our personal opinion is that this influence may indeed have taken place. So few names have survived the sinking of classicism, among which that of Mesomede of Crete is the most remarkable, it is nevertheless allowed to suppose that there were many others, and that their memory was not completely erased during the "dark ages" of barbarian invasions. | |||
