Ever heard of or wonder what the difference is between the "Solesmes Method" and "Semiology"? In this episode I give a brief explanation of both and demonstrate their differences in practice with the Introit "Statuit ei" from the mass of a Confessor Bishop. Contrary to what many people think, Dom Mocquereau (developer of the Solesmes Method) also taught Semiology in the very book he wrote to teach his Solesmes Method, "Le Nombre Musical Gregorien." The main difference between Mocquereau and Cardine is, to put it simply, that Cardine completely disregarded the theory of the ictus, and they had a few differences in understanding of the Semiology.
