Abstract

Two plainchant offices (historiae) for St Theodore Tyro are known, one from Venice and one from Ottobeuren. They are strongly contrasted in their texts (prose, rhymed verse), form (arrangement in numerical modal order, or lacking such order) and melodic style (persistent use or otherwise of traditional turns of phrase). In each case the Venetian office is more conservative.
