Los cantorales de Cisnerosdel canto hispánico al canto neomozárabe

Abstract

This doctoral dissertation, titled “Cisneros’ Cantorales: from Hispanic chant toNeo-Mozarab chant”, explores the restoration of the so-called Hispanic chant carried out in the early 16th Century by Cardinal Jiménez de Cisneros, trying to show how the melodies from Cisneros’ Cantorales were constructed. After reading several previous works on the subject, a hypothesis around which this investigation revolves is formulated, namely the idea that there is an objectively demonstrable, direct link between medieval Hispanic chant and the melodies restored in the 16th Century. The purpose of the following research is either to corroborate it or to refute it.
