“…The most prevalent method of performance was the antiphon, where the choir answers a soloist in short, simple lines, usually strophes. 68 This is the type of chant I have suggested above for the text at hand. The development of musical indicators 69 for Gregorian chant 70 can also be recorded through the increasing complexity of the marking system in manuscripts D1, D2, and D3 from Essen.…”

Through a linguistic analysis of the Hebrew Lord's Prayer, this article endeavors to reach a new understanding of the function of this text in the lives of its users, concluding that the ninth-century Carolingian writer/translator meant for this text to be sung aloud. This article goes back to the basics of textual research—philology and language study—in order to determine the correct historical framework through which to understand this much-debated text, thus adding to our understanding of the religious life and practice of the nuns of Essen at the polyglottic crossroads of Latin and German, Hebrew and Greek. This paper is also an invitation for future studies to continue its effort to rewrite the history of Hebrew in the church, for historians to broaden their toolbox, and for linguists and philologists to contribute their insights to other fields.

“…In the Latin original, rhyming is more regular, taking place at every verse in a regular pattern, with each stanza having 3 rhyme pairs o en building on grammatical rhyme. In other medieval liturgical songs and hymns, there was an option for both regular and irregular rhyme, although most of the liturgical singing was non-measured and non-rhyming (Boynton 2011;Hornby 2009;. It seems that Agricola and his contemporaries saw translating the Bible, Psalms and traditional non-rhymed Latin songs as more important than creating the rhymed Lutheran hymn in Finnish.…”

This collection of thirteen chapters answers new questions about rhyme, with views from folklore, ethnopoetics, the history of literature, literary criticism and music criticism, psychology and linguistics. The book examines rhyme as practiced or as understood in English, Old English and Old Norse, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Karelian, Estonian, Medieval Latin, Arabic, and the Central Australian language Kaytetye. Some authors examine written poetry, including modernist poetry, and others focus on various kinds of sung poetry, including rap, which now has a pioneering role in taking rhyme into new traditions. Some authors consider the relation of rhyme to other types of form, notably alliteration. An introductory chapter discusses approaches to rhyme, and ends with a list of languages whose literatures or song traditions are known to have rhyme.
