The ancient, polyphonic choral music of the Middle Ages with the Gregorian chants for the liturgy in worship has been increasingly codified over the centuries by means of notations. The "Neumen", Winke the Hand, were first squared on four and in the 16th century. ==References====External links==* Official website Often liturgical manuscripts were still used until the 18th century. ==References====External links== Large, partly monumental manuscripts lay on a wooden desk in the middle of the choir, so that the whole Monchian choir community could read the text and capture the notes that a wise man showed. – With numerous, partly very large, deposited flaws and reinforced bridges, stick- and finger-spots, kink-spur and with few blurred letters as well as individual Wormways.
