THE EFFECTS OF PROVIDING FEEDBACK REGARDING CLIENT SYMPTOMATOLOGY ON PSYCHOTHERAPY OUTCOME

Galvinhill, Paul Robert

Abstract Details

2001, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Psychology.
This dissertation presents a comparative study of the offertory chant in the Gregorian and Old Roman traditions. Close musical analysis sheds new light on several issues that scholars have long debated. The first is the relative historical position of Gregorian and Old Roman chant. Gregorian and Roman offertories exhibit frequent breaches in continuity, which suggests that both dialects changed during their period of separate transmission. Comparative analysis however, poses a challenge to the view that the Roman tradition more closely preserves the eight-century melodic prototype. The musical evidence is often more compatible with the theory that the surface uniformity of the Roman versions emerged after their separation from the Gregorian. This dissertation also proposes a chronology for the Gregorian offertory cycle. The degree of resemblance between Gregorian and Roman offertories correlates with their placement in the liturgical calendar. Offertories assigned to Advent and Christmas are more consistently related than those of the later liturgical seasons. Moreover, the melodic traits of offertories in each dialect vary according to the liturgical season. These patterns support a theory that the Roman singers began their creation of the offertory with those assigned to Advent and progressed chronologically through the liturgical year, season-by-season. Finally, I consider the relative age of the offertory respond and verse. A majority of Gregorian and Roman responds exhibit points of resemblance indicating that they descend from common melodic prototypes. Verses of the two dialects, however, often show no traces of a common origin, particularly in the later liturgical seasons. The Roman verses exhibit a formulaicism and internal repetition that is lacking in their Gregorian counterparts. Furthermore, the Roman versions reveal a greater dependency on syntactical rules and verbal cues, possibly resulting from their more prolonged period of oral transmission. These differences suggest that verses were melodically unstable at the time of the Frankish reception and subsequently underwent further development in each dialect. I conclude that offertory verses are a comparatively late integration into the melodic tradition. In the final chapter, the conclusions of the musical analysis are substantiated through a reexamination of the texts and liturgical history of the offertory.
