In addition, a known legend stated that were the Cathedral to be completed, the relics of St. Marcel would have to be returned by the canons of Notre Dame to the canons of St. Marcel. That may have been enough to keep the Gothic church unfinished and undedicated, according to Craig Wright. 3 The medieval consecration of a church, called a Dedication, consisted of a lengthy ceremony found in manuscripts called Pontificals. It included the triple aspersion of the exterior of the church, the inscription of the Greek and Latin alphabets to form a cross of St Andrew on the church floor, the aspersion of the inside of the church, and the aspersion of and placement of relics in the altar, followed by a Mass, which was normally required if worship was to take place in a new or rebuilt church. The Dedication would be followed by a yearly feast of the Anniversary of the Dedication commemorating that ceremony, with its own liturgical texts and music. That yearly feast of the Anniversary of the Dedication was assigned to a specific date in the liturgical calendar, which was not necessarily the date of the original celebration. For example, the old abbey of St. Gall celebrated the feast of the Anniversary of its Dedication on April 17, the day after the feast of St. Gall. Prior to the Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame, the church at that location had celebrated the Anniversary of its Dedication possibly on 11 October, but Craig Wright claimed that an Anniversary of the Dedication "was never celebrated during the church year at the cathedral." 4 1 Wikipedia, s.v.

By this time, the choir had been completed, but little of the rest of the church. 2 The expression "Phantom Dedication" was used by Craig Wright, who provides a useful history of the questions surrounding the absence of a Dedication of the Gothic Notre Dame of Paris, in Music and Ceremony at

Its two abbeys, St Bavo’s and St Peter’s, were founded by the migrating missionary, St Amand. Their communities migrated south during Viking invasions in the ninth century, one returning with new music from Laon; then their competition during a period of restoration produced new chant for many new saints’ offices. In the early sixteenth century, the monks of the Benedictine community at St Bavo’s abbey became secular canons and migrated to a different church building, that of St John’s in the center of Ghent. In 1559, St John’s became the collegiate church of St Bavo, which was then elevated in rank to become St Bavo’s cathedral as it is today. This migration and transformation changed the community’s liturgical music from monastic chant with occasional parallel polyphony into the elaborate mensural polyphony by composers known throughout Europe. Finally, the migration of Pedro de Gante and his Franciscan co...

Vitr. 14-3, particularly a full-page diagram he attributes to Porphyry that is the earliest surviving Western tone system (scale). Following the article are: a postscript by Barbara Haggh-Huglo, a transcription by Barbara A. Shailor of the interpolations in Madrid, BN, ms. Vitr. 14-3 and ms. 10008 with translations by Leofranc Holford-Strevens, and research notes by Manuel Pedro Ferreira on the large diagram entitled “A Mozarabic musical scale?” The ensemble of texts are edited by Barbara Haggh-Huglo and also Graeme Boone as editor of the book.
