Online tool for searching plainchant melodies |
WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL CHANT DATABASE!
This is a searchable database of plainchant melodies and texts included in medieval sources and new editions.
It serves as a simple tool for searching information on Gregorian chant and other medieval monody including sacred songs.
At this time the database contains almost 25.000 records of chant incipits
that provide information about text, melody, genre, modus and concordances in new editions and other on-line databases.
Some of the records include also hypertext links to facsimiles where a particular chant can be found.
