Graduals and noted missals
The database was created with the programme dBASE III PLUS and lists the sources for chants for mass described in Le Graduel Romain, II: Les Sources (Solesmes 1957). The information presented in Les Sources is much abbreviated here.
The database is placed here at the disposal of colleagues in accordance with the aims of the IMS Study Group 'Cantus Planus', which include the exchange of data in electronic form.
