THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHRISTIAN CHANT

Wed 7^th Jan 1953, 20:40 on Third Programme

A series of six programmes arranged and introduced by Egon Wellesz
3—Gregorian Melodies (1)
In this programme Dr. Wellesz traces the gradual building-up of the repertory of Gregorian melodies and the simultaneous attempts to abolish the Gailican and Ambrosian chant. Eventually Gregorian chant came to comprise the richest and most varied collection of sacred monody, several examples of which will be heard in this programme.
