Questions[edit]
- Re:"Although traces remain" where do traces remain? Traces of Beneventan chant remain in the Gregorian repertoire? If so, that's not clear to me in the intro. Mak (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Traces of Benevantan chant remained in use despite the papal ban. I've revised the lead to clarify. Peirigill 06:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Very clear now, thanks. Mak (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

- "the Beneventan repertory ceased to be a viable musical tradition" makes it sound like regardless of outside pressure, the music just couldn't cut it. What if it were something more like "Because of pressure from foreign abbots, as well as from the Pope, the Beneventan chant ceased to be a viable musical tradition" ? Perhaps that would be too redundant, though. Nicely done, Mak (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- What I'm trying to say is that the Beneventan chant was, with a few exceptions, no longer performed, and no new music was added to the Benevantan repertory. It was no longer a living musical tradition. Is "living musical tradition" better than "viable musical tradition"? It wasn't just a matter of pressure; the Pope abolished ("interdixit") the chant. Peirigill 06:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, and you say that the pope abolished it, I just think the death of the chant should be attributed to that, rather than something intrinsically unviable about the music. I think perhaps it's a difficulty with word "viable", which has a value judgement connected with it, in my view. Perhaps if it just says "The Pope killed it" it would make me happier :) Mak (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I reworded it... what do you think? Peirigill 19:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Nice :) Mak (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
