The Laudario di Cortona is a 13th c. manuscript consisting of a sequence of religious songs, simple and naive, after the praise songs, or lauds, of the poet and mystic Francis of Assisi. Lauds were in Italy a popular form of sacred singing quite separate from the Church's liturgy and its musical requirements. The music is a monody, occasionally sustained simply with a continuous note at the bass. It is quite distinct from Gregorian chant and foreshadows the tonalities of 14th and 15th c. Italian music.LAUDARIO DI CORTONA
Marcel Pérès contributed to working out the musicology of the Laudario as well as to providing some of the music with harmonic parts. The Estaing Salve Regina and the Chant de l'An Mille, or Prose de Montpellier, have been added to the Laudario di Cortona because they also pertained to the medieval mystery plays. The Chant illustrates the distressing approach to the Millenium 1000, with the associated threat that this world would come to an end.
