- Title
Die sogenannte Missa Graeca - Schnitstelle zwischen Ost und West?
- Authors
Wanek, Nina-Maria
- Abstract
The Article deals with the so-called Missa graeca, i. e. chants of the Roman ordinary of the mass with Greek texts in Latin manuscripts written with Latin neumes. These texts can be found in choral manuscripts from the 9th to the 11th century. Over the past hundred years the Missa graeca has been researched - mainly by Western scientists - but still many questions remain unsolved: Is there an actual melodic connection between the Byzantine chants and those of the Missa graeca? What are the models for these chants? Where do the mistakes in the transliterated texts come from? Who wrote the chants down, who sang them, ec.? The article tries to examine these questions on the basis of the Sanctus/Hagios, looking at its Greek and Latin text as well as examining the different melodies. Furthermore the article tries to compare the melody of the Byzantine Hagios with that of the Sanctus in the Missa graeca, although such a comparison is difficult due to the different neumatic systems used as well as due to the time difference of the manuscripts:Western manuscripts containing the Missa graeca date from the 10th century,while Byzantine codices incorporating the Hagios are preserved only from the 14th century.
