Abstract
The exploration of musical sources in Chilean archives and libraries has recently increased. However, liturgical music, especially that preserved in plainchant books, has been barely catalogued. This article provides a first inventory of plainchant books up to 1900 in the three most important ecclesiastical institutions in Santiago de Chile: the Cathedral, the Major Pontifical Seminary, and the Recoleta Dominica convent church. The results not only offer a list of more than one hundred books—some of them unknown or unpublished—but also lead to a better understanding of several issues related to plainchant in Chile, such as the use of local plainchant in that country and the circulation of liturgical music books.
