| Publisher Description: Ademar de Chabannes, monk at Saint Cybard in Angouleme in the early eleventh centuryand participant in the scriptorium at Saint Martial in Limoges, is well known for his historical and literary works, and his polemics in favour of the apostolic status of Martial, whose tomb was situated at the abbey that bore his name in Limoges. He also left behind some 451 autograph folios of liturgical music, much of which contributes to the debate about Martials apostolicity by providing a liturgy for him, as well as several of his companions, that recognizes Martial as an apostle. Along the way, Ademar produced some 100 original compositions. This edition presents for the first time all the texts and music that pertain to these liturgies, transcribed from Ademars own autograph manuscripts. |
