It's really, really beautiful - transporting, even -so I'm not surprised it was used often.<BR/><BR/>Awhile ago, I found a great French website that had the words to many of the Pilgrims' songs, which I guess originally came from the <A HREF="http://chantblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/codex-calixtinus.html" REL="nofollow">Codex Calixtinus</A>? That site is gone now, but <A HREF="http://www.coropaer.it/alleluia_iacobe_sanctissime.htm" REL="nofollow">here's an Italian one</A> that has the lyrics, at least to the first verse - and they have posted <A HREF="http://www.coropaer.it/pagine%20iniziali/repertorio.htm" REL="nofollow">a page of mp3s, too</A>.blshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627725321531151309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760886.post-65263455385710736732008-02-16T03:45:00.000-05:002008-02-16T03:45:00.000-05:00That antiphon melody was quite common, both in Bri...That antiphon melody was quite common, both in Britain and on the continent. That same melody is used in Gallican and Parisian use books for the Nunc Antiphon at Compline (obviously, where most of my research time is spent) for both Advent-Epiphany and Low Sunday-Pentecost. The melodic shape of the Alleluia itself, well, centonization, baby.. Chant reuses melodic fragments all the time.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to linking to our stuff!<BR/><BR/>Howard<BR/>St David's<BR/>Austin, TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
