ABSTRACT
The Musica disciplina, the Dijon tonary, and the musical repertory of Cluny have each prompted study. Features common to the Dijon tonary and Cluny repertory have been identified, however, the treatise Musica disciplina has never been considered in relation to the chant of Dijon or Cluny. A list of abbots from the abbey of St Jean de Reome in Moutiers-St-Jean, a hagiographical libellus, and other evidence indicate that strong ties once existed between Reome, Dijon, and Cluny. In his prologue Aurelian, from the abbey of St Jean de Reome, dedicates the treatise to Bernardus, archcantor and soon to be archbishop. In a recent study evidence was presented that Bernard was a nobleman trained at the court of Louis the Pious, later abbot of Reome and bishop of Autun, waiting to be installed as archbishop of Lyon.
