Summary/Abstract: The research on gregorian chant from the middle of the 19th century had their protagonists mainly in some of the Solesmes monks, but not without polemics. After the St. Pius X motu roprio, and the new Vatican edition, the Solesmes style and Methode… was spread everywhere, but some voices, from the own monastery, claimed for a new approach to the musical writing: the neumes. Dom Cardine’s Semiology was the science created to answer some of the the lacks of the Mocquereau’s theories. In this paper I’ll try to show a little history of the previous works to the Cardine’s Semiology, specially the Cardine’s own works developed from the previous researches of the Paléographie musicale.
