A series of six programmes arranged and introduced by Egon Wellesz
2-The Primitive Chant and Jewish Chant
In this programme Egon Wellesz discusses the earliest musical traditions in the Jewish chants from Yemen and also the litursy of the christianised Syrians, who were the first to practise antiphonal singing of the psalms. Syrians in Italy may have been responsible for the ultimate acceptance of this method of psalm-sing ng by Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, in the fourth century.
