Acerca de la problemática en la transmisión de los tropos del Gloria: la vida de "Laus tua deus", un ejemplo temprano en un manuscrito gerundense

Abstract

Using one of the earliest-known examples of trope (Laus tua deus), conserved in the early-twelfth century troper from Girona (Paris Bibl. Nat. n. a. lat. 495), this article aims to give a practical description of the problems posed by a repertory of the nature of the Gloria tropes. In this respect, the transmission, characteristics and, ultimately, the configuration of the different regional profiles of this chant provide a special framework for it to be analysed from various points of view. Furthermore, in contrast to the “stability” of the Gregorian repertory, certain issues urgently requiring immediate discussion arise: oral transmission versus written notation, biblical versus newly created sources, standardisation versus recreation, etc.
