Collection of Gradual chants
The beginnings were in the 1970s.
- This concerns the repertory of the proprium of the Mass.
- Its function is to assist in research.
- It takes the form of synoptic handwritten tables for each musical genre – introits, graduals, alleluias, offertories, communion – in alphabetical order.
- It contains all the propers for all the graduals available in Hungary up to 1990, with some foreign sources chosen for comparison.
- The synoptic tables – unlike the responsory collection – show not only the differing sections of the variants but contain copmplete transcriptions of each melody.
