- Augustine's appraisal of music's moral value in Confessions, as selectively abbreviated by Isidore of Seville, provides a conceptual framework for understanding early medieval Iberian musical values. This ground-breaking 20,000-word article took three years to research and write, and brings together and analyses a large body of primary sources. It tests the hypothesis that Isidore's musical values shaped the extant Old Hispanic chant texts and melodies, offering a new appraisal of the way Old Hispanic musical values and practice relate. The methodology developed here has the potential to be applied to other ritual traditions.
