A further example at the bottom of the Figure is taken from the second verse of
the Aredius Offertory (introduced above in Figure 5-3a) in which the melisma on PRE-
sci-uit includes a sequence of repeated phrases at the close of the verse with a pes stratus
marked in each one.

(b.) Traditional Gallican Chants
Among the Gallican influenced chants of Pa903 there are also various chant
genres that, although found in the Gregorian feasts, have been identified as derived from
the traditional Gallican chant repertory (Table 5-12). These are chants that reflect
Gallican practices and are identified principally through correlations with Mediterranean
and Spanish (Toledo) sources written in non-diastematic neumes. 54
54 Huglo,et. al., “Gallican Chant,” New Grove Dictionary (2001) 9:460-62. These are
necessarily circumstantial ascriptions in that that no chant book of Gallican chant texts survives from
eighth-century Gaul (i.e., before the development of musical notation in Francia).
The Spanish sources of Toledo, et. al., were shown in the variance analysis of Figure 3-3 to be closely
associated with the Aquitanian graduals.
