Up to about 1100 the offertories were sung\u003cbr\u003eas an extended chant comprising an antiphon and often several verses.\u003cbr\u003eThe verses in particular, but sometimes also the antiphons, have an\u003cbr\u003eelaborate musical style characterized by long wordless melismas. The\u003cbr\u003emelismas received new texts, prosulas, that were incorporated into the\u003cbr\u003eoffertories. These new texts can be found in manuscripts as early as the\u003cbr\u003etenth century, and the genre continued to flourish until the twelfth\u003cbr\u003ecentury, when prosulas begin to disappear from the sources together\u003cbr\u003ewith the verses. Only a small number of offertory prosulas appear in\u003cbr\u003elater manuscripts.\u003cbr\u003eSofar the majority of the offertory prosulas have not been edited in\u003cbr\u003ea modern text edition. The present edition comprises 252 different\u003cbr\u003eprosulas related to 84 offertory chants that were sung during the\u003cbr\u003eecclesiastic year. It is notable that a number of prosulas were sung\u003cbr\u003eduring the cycle of Lent, a time usually deprived of embellishments.\u003cbr\u003eThe edition is based on 74 manuscripts dating from the tenth to the\u003cbr\u003efourteenth century, the majority being from before 1100 and coming\u003cbr\u003efrom many different regions of Europe. In addition, the volume offers\u003cbr\u003ean introduction and a commentary in French, as well as a table and an\u003cbr\u003eoverview of the sections in the manuscripts containing the prosulas.\u003cbr\u003eThe editor is a Latin philologist and a member of the Corpus\u003cbr\u003eTroporum research team at Stockholm University.","brand":"Stockholm University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31913568796761,"sku":"9789186071110","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9789186071110_1-corpus-troporum-11-prosules-de-la-messe-3-prosules-de-loffertoire.jpg?v=1749550949","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/corpus-troporum-11-prosules-de-la-messe-3-prosules-de-loffertoire","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
