Countries where chant-research projects are located:
Cantus Index is 1) a catalogue of chant texts and melodies for the liturgical Office and Mass, and 2) a federated search of online chant resources. Through the use of unique "Cantus IDs," multiple online medieval music databases have been networked together in order that chant texts and melodies can be searched on this Cantus Index website and matches in all of the partner databases will be returned.
