Page "Semiology (Gregorian Chant)" Paragraph 11

This work was followed in 1968 by the book ' Semiologia Gregoriana ' by Dom Eugène Cardine.

In this book, a fairly comprehensive table of the neumes used by the school of Sankt Gallen is presented.

Unlike Fr.

Vollaerts, Dom Cardine did not view the musical signs as representing proportional note values, and he viewed one-note syllables in Sankt Gallen notation as normally representing a short duration.

Unlike Vollaerts, Cardine did not present all the styles of notation to the reader for examination, which means that the reader had no access to certain notations, such as those of Nonantola and Laon, which mark most one-note syllables with a sign indicating a lengthening of duration.
