Medicean Chant

Medicean Chant
   Refers to the Roman Gradual and Antiphonal published by the Medicean press in Rome in 1614 under the direction of Felice Anerio (c. 1560–1614) and Franceso Soriano (c. 1548– 1621) that revised texts and melodies of older chant books in the wake of the Council of Trent. Pope Gregory XIII charged the composer-editors on 25 October 1577 with "revising, purging, correcting, and reforming" the existing chant books, but it is possible that the new edition merely codified contemporary practices. It became the principal source for the Ratisbon (Regensburg) edition of chant (1870) promoted by the Cecilian reformers in Germany. This was replaced as the standard modern edition of Gregorian chant by the {}Editio Vaticana, the work of the Benedictines at Solesmes, at the end of the century.
