Sequentiar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sequentiar , also Prosar , is the name for a musical type of manuscript from the late Middle Ages , which mainly contains sequences and prose .

The oldest pure sequentiary dates from the 14th century (Sitten 48), but most of them only from the 15th and 16th centuries. Middle-aged manuscripts usually contain ordinariums tropes , in which the prose liturgically correctly insert them after the gloria tropes. A related group of manuscripts brings the ordinarium tropes first, then the prose. In particular, Dominican manuscripts precede processional antiphons . The old sequentiare also always contain graduals , alleluia and other chants, in addition to the prose fascicle almost always a separate sequential fascicle .
