Peculiarities of the study of the Gregorian chorale by Fr. Eugene Cardin and his followers

The article states that Fr. Eugène Cardine (1905-1988) was a long-time professor at the Pontifical Institute of Church Music and initiated a new research direction of Western sacred monody - Gregorian semiology (Semiologia gregoriana, 1968). His students were Luigi Agustoni, Johannes Berchmans Göschl, Marie-Noël Colette, Godegart Joppich, and from the younger generation the professor of the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and Vienna Xavier Kainzbauer (X. Kainzbauer).

Followers of Eugène Cardin expanded the problems of Latin monody studies, both theoretical and practical aspects. It was noted that in 1975 the followers of Fr. Eugenia Cardina founded the Associazione Internazionale Studi di Canto Gregoriano (International Association for the Study of Gregorian Chant), which contributed to the spread of Gregorian semiology. Nino Albarosa, G. Joppich, Alberto Turco, Rupert Fischer, and others were among the founders of this society. It was investigated that the purpose of the society was to unite researchers of Latin monody and to implement the ideas of semiological teaching in performance practice. Subsequently, similar organizations appeared in Germany, France, Japan, Spain, Poland, creating peculiar scientific and practical sections. Each of the sections publishes its scientific yearbook: Studi gregoriani (Italy), Beiträge zur Gregorianik (Germany), Études Grégoriennes (France), Estudios gregorianos (Spain).

Key words: Gregorian chant, Fr. Eugène Cardin, Gregorian semiology, Latin monody, disciples, followers, society.
