Priest's Preface chant
-
I am looking for more information concerning the melodic formulas used in the Preface chant. I have read they are very old cantillations formulas but is there anything written about them and how they are applied to a preface text?

Father Anthony Ruff, OSB, is the go-to guy on this. You might also consult http://www.litpress.org/Products/3381/chants-of-ithe-roman-missali-study-edition.aspx
