An '''antiphonary''' or '''antiphonal''' is one of the [[liturgical book]]s intended for use {{lang|la|in choro}} (i.e. in the [[choir (architecture)|liturgical choir]]), and originally characterized, as its name implies, by the assignment to it principally of the [[antiphon]]s used in various parts of the [[Latin liturgical rites]].

Medieval antiphonaries varied with regional liturgical tradition. In 1570, following the [[Council of Trent]], the [[Roman Rite]] antiphonary was declared universal.  The Roman Antiphonary (''Antiphonale Romanum'') contains the chants for the [[canonical hours]] for the hours of [[Lauds]], [[Prime (liturgy)|Prime]], [[Terce]], [[Sext]], [[None (liturgy)|None]], [[Vespers]] and [[Compline]] for every day of the year.  The ''Vesperale Romanum'' is an excerpt of the Antiphonary containing the chants sung at Vespers. The music for use at the Mass is contained in the Roman Gradual (''Graduale Romanum''), the chants of the [[Ordinary (liturgy)|ordinary]] are also edited as an excerpt from the Gradual, the ''Kyriale Romanum''.  The ''Antiphonale Romanum'' was substantially revised in 1910–11 in the course of the [[Reform of the Roman Breviary by Pope Pius X|reform of the Roman Breviary]] under [[Pope Pius X]], notably restoring authentic [[Gregorian chant|Gregorian]] melodies. For the 1971 "[[Liturgy of the Hours]]", there are two volumes, ''Antiphonale Romanum II'' and ''Liber Hymnarius''.

==Terminology==
Alternative terms for ''Antiphonary'' are  ''Antiphonal'' or '' Antiphony''.  The term comes from the Latin ''antiphonarium, antiphonarius, antiphonarius liber, antiphonale'', which came from the Greek ''antíphonon'' "antiphone, anthem".

In current usage, ''Antiphonary'' refers more narrowly to books containing the [[Gregorian chant|chants]] for the [[canonical hours|Divine Office]] in distinction to the ''[[Gradual]]'' (''Graduale'' or more rarely ''antiphonarium Missarum''), which contains the antiphons used for the Mass.<ref>{{Cite Grove |last=Huglo |first=Michel |last2=Hiley |first2=David |title=Antiphoner|name-list-style=amp}}</ref>

The Antiphonary thus included generically the antiphons and antiphonal chants sung by cantor, congregation, and choir at [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]] (''antiphonarium Missarum'', or graduale) and at the [[canonical Hours]] ('' antiphonarium officii''); but now it refers only to the sung portions of the [[Liturgy of the Hours|Divine Office]] or Breviary.

Other English equivalents for ''antiphonary'' are ''antiphonar'' (still in reputable use) and ''antiphoner'' (considered obsolete by some English lexicographers, but still sometimes used in the early 20th century).
In the "[[The Prioress' Prologue and Tale|Prioress' Tale]]" of [[Chaucer]] it occurs in the form ''antiphonere'':
:''He Alma Redemptoris herde synge / As children lerned hir antiphonere.''

The word Antiphonary had in the earlier Middle Ages sometimes a more general, sometimes a more restricted meaning. In its present meaning it has also been variously and insufficiently defined as a "Collection of antiphons in the notation of Plain Chant", and as a liturgical book containing the antiphons "and other chants".
In its present complete form it contains, in plain-chant notation, the music of all the sung portions of the Roman Breviary immediately placed with the texts, with the indications of the manner of singing such portions as have a common melody (such as [[versicle]]s and responses, the Psalms, the Lessons, the Chapters). But the Lessons of Matins (First Nocturn) in the [[triduum]] of Holy Week, styled "Lamentations", have a melody proper to themselves, which is not therefore merely indicated but is placed immediately with the texts of the Lessons.

In order to show as clearly as possible the exact position of the antiphonary amongst the liturgical books, it is proper to recall that the [[Roman Missal]] contains all the texts used at Mass; the [[Roman Breviary]], all the texts used in the Divine Office or Canonical Hours.  While in the Missal, the [[introit]]s, [[gradual]]s, [[Tract (liturgy)|tract]]s, [[Sequence (musical form)|sequences]], offertories, communions, as well as the texts of the [[Kyrie]], [[Gloria in Excelsis Deo|Gloria]], [[Credo]], [[Sanctus]], and [[Agnus Dei]] are both read by the celebrant and sung by the choir, their notation is not given, only the ''accentus'' or chants, of the celebrant and deacon have the music furnished (such as the intonations of the Gloria, the Credo, the chants of the various Prefaces, the two forms of the [[Pater Noster]], the various forms of the Ite, or Benedicamus, the Blessing of the Font, etc.). The omitted chants (styled ''concentus''), which are to be sung by the choir, are contained in a supplementary volume called the "Graduale" or "Liber Gradualis" (anciently the "Gradale").

In like manner, the Roman Breviary, practically entirely meant for singing in choro, contains no music; and the "Antiphonarium" performs for it a service similar to that of the "Liber Gradualis" for the Missal.
Just as the "Liber Gradualis" and the "Antiphonarium" are, for the sake of convenience, separated from the Missal and Breviary respectively, so, for the same reason, still further subdivisions have been made of each. <!--Into those of the "Graduale" we need not enter. -->

The "Antiphonarium" has been issued in a compendious form "for the large number of churches in which the Canonical Hours of the Divine Office are sung only on Sundays and Festivals".  This ''Antiphonarium Romanum compendiose redactum ex editionibus typicis'' etc., includes, however, the chants for the Masses of Christmas, the triduum of Holy Week, and other desired Offices, and is issued in a single volume. Another separate volume is the "Vesperal", which contains also the Office of [[Compline]]; and of the "Vesperal" a further compendium has been issued, entitled "Epitome ex Vesperali Romano".

Associated somewhat in scope with the "Antiphonarium" is the "Directorium Chorii", which has been described as furnishing the ground plan for the antiphonary, inasmuch as it gives or indicates all the music of the chants (except the responsories after the Lessons), the tones of the psalms, the brief responsories, the "[[Venite Exultemus]]", the "[[Te Deum]]", Litanies etc. The text of all the psalms, the full melody of the hymns, and the new feasts were added to the "official edition" of the "Directorium" in 1888.

The word ''antiphonary'' does not therefore clearly describe the contents of the volume or volumes thus entitled, in which are found many chants other than the antiphon ''per se'', such as hymns, responsories, versicles, and responses, psalms, the "[[Te Deum]]," the "[[Venite Adoremus]]," and so forth. The expression "antiphonal chant" would, however, comprise all these different kinds of texts and chants, since they are so constructed as to be sung alternately by the two divisions of the liturgical choir; and in this sense the word Antiphonary would be sufficiently inclusive in its implication. On the other hand, the corresponding volume for the chants of the Mass, namely the "Graduale", or "Liber Gradualis", includes many other kinds of liturgical texts and chants in addition to the graduals, such as introits, tracts, sequences, offertories, communions, as well as the fixed texts of the "Ordinarium Missæ", or "Kyriale". It may be said, then, that these two books receive the names "Antiphonarium" and "Graduale" from the technical name of the most important chants included in them. Fundamentally all the chants, whether of the Mass or of the Divine Office, are sung antiphonally, and might, with etymological propriety, be comprised in the one general musical title of "Antiphonary."

===Early history===

[[Gregory the Great]] is traditionally considered to have revised and collected the various texts and chants of the liturgy, giving rise to the term "[[Gregorian Chant]]" for liturgical [[plainsong]] melodies. The [[Gregorian Antiphonary]], and the supplemental {{lang|la|Antiphonarium Missae}}, left an enduring influence on the Roman liturgy.

Earlier popes had given, a medieval writer{{who|date=July 2024}} assures us, attention to the chants; and he specifies [[St. Damasus]] (d. 384), [[Pope Leo I|St. Leo]] (d. 461), [[St. Gelasius]] (d. 496), [[St. Symmachus]] (d. 514), [[St. John I]] (d. 526) and [[Boniface II]] (d. 532). It is true, also, that the chants used at Milan were styled, in honour of [[St. Ambrose]] (called the "Father of Church Song"), the [[Ambrosian Chant]].

But it is not known whether any collection of the chants had been made before that of St. Gregory, concerning which his ninth-century biographer, [[Johannes Hymonides|John the Deacon]], wrote: ''Antiphonarium centonem … compilavit''. The authentic antiphonary mentioned by the biographer has not as yet been found. What was its character? What is meant by ''cento'' ("patchwork")?
In the century in which John the Deacon wrote his life of the Saint, a ''[[Cento (poetry)|cento]]'' meant the literary feat of constructing a coherent poem out of scattered excerpts from an ancient author, in such wise, for example, as to make the verses of [[Virgil]] sing the mystery of the Epiphany. The work, then, of St. Gregory was a musical cento, a compilation (''centonem ... compilavit'') of pre-existing material into a coherent and well-ordered whole. This does not necessarily imply that the musical [[centonization]] of the melodies was the special and original work of the Saint, as the practice of constructing new melodies from separate portions of older ones had already been in vogue two or three centuries earlier than his day. But is it clear that the cento was one of melodies as well as of texts? In answer it might indeed by said that in the earliest ages of the Church the chants must have been so very simple in form that they could easily be committed to memory; and that most of the subsequently developed antiphonal melodies could be reduced to a much smaller number of types, or typical melodies, and could thus also be memorized.

And yet many<!--this is the voice of Henry (1907) --> say that it is scarcely credible that the developed melodies of St. Gregory's time had never possessed a musical notation, had never been committed to writing. What made his antiphonary so very useful to chanters (as John the Deacon esteemed it) was probably his careful presentation of a revised text with a revised melody, written either in the characters used by the ancient authors (as set down in [[Boethius]]) or in neumatic notation. [[Augustine of Canterbury|St. Augustine]], [[Gregorian mission|sent to England]] by St. Gregory, carried with him a copy of the precious antiphonary, and founded at [[Canterbury]] a flourishing school of singing. A decree of the Second [[Council of Cloveshoo]] (747) directing that the celebration of the feasts, in respect to baptism, Masses and music (''in cantilenæ modo''), should follow the method of the book "which we received from the Roman Church".

That this book was the Gregorian antiphonary is clear from the testimony of [[Egbert, Bishop of York]] (732-766), who in his ''De Institutione Catholica'' speaks of the "Antiphonarium" and "Missale" which the "blessed Gregory … sent to us by our teacher, blessed Augustine".

===Middle Ages===
It is impossible to trace here the progress of the Gregorian antiphonary throughout Europe, which resulted finally in the fact that the [[Latin liturgical rites|liturgy of Western Europe]], with a very few exceptions, finds itself based fundamentally on the work of St. Gregory, whose labour comprised not merely the sacramentary, and the "Antiphonarium Missæ", but extended also to the Divine Office. Briefly, the next highly important step in the history of the antiphonary was its introduction into some dioceses of France where the liturgy had been [[Gallican Rite|Gallican]], with ceremonies related to those of [[Milanese Rite|Milan]] and with chants developed by newer melodies.
From the year 754 may be dated the change in favour of the Roman liturgy. [[St. Chrodegang]], [[Bishop of Metz]], on his return from an embassy to Rome, introduced the Roman liturgy into his diocese and founded the Chant School of Metz. Subsequently, under [[Charlemagne]], French monks went to Rome to study the Gregorian tradition there, and some Roman teachers visited France.

The interesting story of [[Ekkehard]], concerning two monks,  Petrus and Romanus, sent from Rome to teach chant,<ref>Lori Kruckenberg, "Ekkehard's Use of Musical Detail in the ''Casus sancti Galli''", in J.A. Peraino (ed.), ''Medieval Music in Practice: Studies in Honor of David G. Hughes'' (1995), 371-394.</ref> is not to be taken as historical. But a certain Petrus, according to [[Notker of St Gall|Notker]], was sent to Rome by [[Charlemagne]] and at the [[Abbey of St. Gall]] trained the monks in the Roman style. Besides Metz and St. Gall, other important schools of chant were founded at [[Rouen]] and [[Soissons]].
In the course of time new melodies were added, at first characterized by the simplicity of the older tradition, but gradually becoming more free in extended intervals. With respect to German manuscripts, the earliest are found in a style of [[Neume|neumatic]] notation different from that of St. Gall, while the St. Gall manuscripts are derived not directly from the Italian but from the Irish-Anglo-Saxon. It is probable that before the 10th and 11th centuries (at which period the St. Gall notation began to triumph in the German churches) the Irish and English missionaries brought with them the notation of the English antiphonary.

It would take too much space to record here the multiplication of antiphonaries and their gradual deterioration, both in text and in chant, from the Roman standard.
The school of Metz began the process early. Commissioned by [[Louis the Pious]] to compile a "Graduale" and antiphonary, the priest [[Amalarius of Metz]] found a copy of the Roman antiphonary in the monastery of [[Corbie]], and placed in his own compilation an M when he followed the Metz antiphonary, R when he followed the Roman, and an I C (asking Indulgence and Charity) when he followed his own ideas.
His changes in the "Graduale" were few; in the antiphonary, many.

Part of the revision which, together with [[Elisagarus]], he made in the responsories as against the Roman method, were finally adopted in the Roman antiphonary.
In the 12th century, the commission established by St. Bernard to revise the antiphonaries of Citeaux criticized with undue severity the work of Amalarius and Elisagarus and withal produced a faulty antiphonary for the [[Cistercian Order]].
The multiplication of antiphonaries, the differences in style of notation, the variations in melody and occasionally in text, need not be further described here.
In France especially, the multiplication of liturgies subsequently became so great, that when [[Prosper Guéranger]], in the middle of the 19th century, started introducing the Roman liturgy into that country, sixty out of eighty dioceses had their own local breviaries.

That the word antiphonarium is, or was, quite elastic in its application, is shown by the remark of Amalarius in his ''Liber de ordine Antiphonarii'', written in the first half of the 9th century. The work which in Metz was called "Antiphonarius" was divided into three in Rome: "What we call 'Graduale' they style 'Cantatorius'; and this, in accordance with their ancient custom, is still bound in a single volume in some of their churches. The remainder they divide into two parts: the one containing the responsories is called 'Responsoriale'; while the other, containing antiphons, is called 'Antiphonarius'. I have followed our custom, and have placed together (''mixtim'') the responsories and the antiphons according to the order of the seasons in which our feasts are celebrated" (P. L., CV, 1245). The word "cantatory" explains itself as a volume containing chants; it was also called "Graduale", because the chanter stood on a step (''gradus'') of the [[Ambon (liturgy)|ambo]] or pulpit, while singing the response after the Epistle. Other ancient names for the antiphonary seem to have been ''Liber Officialis'' (Office Book) and "Capitulare" (a term sometimes used for the book containing the Epistles and Gospels).

===Modern history===
Changes in the antiphonary were made in the [[Counter-Reformation]], resulting from the reform of the [[Roman Breviary]] ordered by the [[Council of Trent]] and carried out under [[Pius V]].
The term antiphonarium, printed as a title to many volumes of the early modern period, is made to cover a very varied selection from the complete antiphonary. Sometimes it means practically a "Vesperale" (sometimes with Terce added; sometimes with various processional chants and blessings taken from the "Processionale" and "Rituale").
These volumes meet the local usages in certain dioceses with respect to Church services, and offer a practical manual for the worshipper, excluding portions of the Divine Office not sung in choir in some places and including those portions which are sung. (See also names of Antiphonaries, as Armagh, [[Antiphonary of Bangor]] etc.)

In the second half of the 19th century, there was a movement to restore medieval Gregorian music.
[[Louis Lambillotte]] reproduced various antiphonaries and graduals, as did the "Plain Song and Medieval Music Society" and especially by [[André Mocquereau]] (1849–1930), whose  ''Paléographie Musicale'' (established 1889)
published phototypic reproductions of antiphonaries of Einsiedeln, of St. Gall, of Hartker, of Montpellier, of the twelfth-century monastic antiphonary found in the library of the Chapter of Lucca, which in course of publication illustrated the [[Guidonian notation]] that everywhere replaced, save in the school of St. Gall, the ambiguous method of writing the [[neum]]s ''in campo aperto'',
Mocquereau was succeeded as editor of ''Paléographie Musicale'' by his leading disciple, Joseph Gajard (1885-1972) in 1930.

This appeal to early tradition has resulted in [[Pius X]] taking away its official sanction from the Ratisbon edition. The Ratisbon "Graduale", founded on the Medicean (which gave the chants as abbreviated and changed by Anerio and Suriano), and the "Antiphonarium" (which was based on the Antiphonale of Venice, 1585, with the responsories of Matins based on the Antwerp edition of 1611), would be replaced by the chants as found in the older codices.

The so-called "[[Roman Catholic Diocese of Regensburg|Ratisbon]] edition" of the Roman antiphonary, entitled ''Antiphonarium et Psalterium juxta ordinem Breviarii Romani cum cantu sub auspicis Pii IX et Leonis XIII Pontif. Maxim. reformato. Curâ et auctoritate S. Rituum Congregationis digestum Romæ'', (edited by [[Friedrich Pustet]], 1879)<ref>''Antiphonary and Psaltery according to the order of the Roman Breviary, with the chant as reformed under the auspices of Pope Pius IX and Leo XIII. Arranged at Rome under the supervision of the [[Sacred Congregation of Rites]]''.</ref> was most widely used in the late nineteenth century, and commended for use in all the churches of the Catholic world by [[Pius IX]] and [[Leo XIII]].

The first of these volumes to be issued, entitled: ''Tomus II. continens Horus Diurnus Breviarii Romani (Vesperale)'', contained the [[antiphon]]s, [[psalm]]s, hymns and versicles of the [[Canonical Hours]] styled ''Horæ Diurnæ'', i. e. [[Lauds]], Prime, Terce, Sext, None, [[Vespers]] and [[Compline]]. It comprised in one volume what in some editions had been distributed in several, such as the "Antiphonarium" (in a very restricted sense), the "Psalterium", the "Hymnarium", the "Responsoriale". The Office of [[Matins]] was divided into the other two volumes, one of which contained the invitatories, antiphons, hymns, etc., of Matins for the Proprium de Tempore (Proper of the Season), and the other, for the Commune Sanctorum ([[Common (liturgy)|Common Office]] of the Saints) and the Proprium Sanctorum ([[Proper (liturgy)|Proper Office]] of the Saints).

A brief study of the divisions and arrangement of the [[Marquess of Bute]]'s translation into English of the [[Roman Breviary]] will make clear from the above description the general character of a complete Roman antiphonary. It is suggested by some that this Ratisbon edition has lost its authentic and official character by virtue of the [[Motu proprio]] ''[[Tra le sollecitudini]]'' (22 November 1903), and the Decree of the [[Sacred Congregation of Rites]] (8 January 1904).

[[Pope Pius X]] rejected the Ratisbon edition and ordered the creation of a new Vatican edition, in which both the texts and the melodies were to be revised in order to bring them into conformity with the results of recent palaeographic studies in Gregorian chant. The Ratisbon editions were replaced with the Vatican edition of 1912

The  ''Antiphonale monasticum'' (1934) was produced by the [[Abbey of Solesmes|Benedictines of Solesmes]].
In 1971 the Office was substantially revised and renamed the ''[[Liturgy of the Hours]]'' (''Liturgia Horarum'') and new books appeared: the ''Psalterium monasticum'' (1981) and the ''Liber hymnarius'' (1982).
