To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The peculiarity, moreover, of the inflection is that here, for the first time, the music is more important than the words. In the Tones the accentuation of the syllables, especially at the end of the verse, decided their apportionment to the notes, but in the psalmody of the Tracts the music is the master. In the example the last three syllables are allotted to the last three phrases of the inflection quite irrespective of accent. It is not difficult to see that the reason is that the accent of... the syllable is lost 1 6 Recent Research in Plainsong. in the number of notes sung to it. The primary idea was, no doubt, that the penultimate phrase corresponded to the penultimate note in the trochaic Tone-ending, and was the most important of the three groups ; but, as this importance showed itself in the melody, it was not necessary that the words should accord with it, while it was necessary that there should be no doubt which syllables were to be sung to the three phrases. We will examine this peculiarity a little more closely.
