A previously unknown 'Ordo Prophetarum' in a manuscript fragment in Zagreb

Article Abstract:

A unique version of the medieval music-drama 'Ordo Prophetarum' has been discovered in the Metropolitanski Archiv in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. The music notation of the piece dates from the early 13th or late 12th century. The fragment proves that there was more than one tradition of composition of this music-drama, and that medieval music-dramas in general did not develop in a single historical progression.

Music, 13th century AD, Christian drama
