Abstract

For over forty years, the antiphon Surgite sancti, which was sung during the church consecration liturgy in the Catalan-Narbonese rite, has been an essential touchstone for a knowledge of the origins of music notation in Catalonia. This article presents a study of this antiphon in relation to the samples which are known to us in other liturgical settings. The comparison between the various sources allows the differentiated singularity of the two groups of melodies to be established.
