Certain psalmodic chants also became subject to purely musical elaboration, whether through polyphony or kalophonia. |
|
In the Mass, the chants of the Ordinary are all non-psalmodic and those of the Proper are psalmodic. |
|
Despite these efforts to rely on wall-to-wall ditties, psalmodic chant still figures prominently in the Weekday liturgy. |
|
This is but natural, for the practice of psalmodic chant is directly and indirectly interlaced with all the rich associations of the ecclesiastical calendar. |
