Western Plainchant: A Handbook

Description

"David Hiley's magisterial Western Plainchant: A Handbook. Don't be fooled by the 'Handbook' in that title. The book is about three inches thick and is an exhaustive treatment of western liturgical chant. In addition to mention thoughout Hiley's book there is an entire chapter ["V.4. The Modes"] devoted to the modes (pp. 454-477 [PDF pp. 552-75]). His work is all but unassailable and may be had from Oxford University Press." —forum.musicasacra.com
