Each pair of strophes is composed of strophe and antistrophe, which exactly agree in their length and the number of their syllables (later also in rhythm and rhyme). A sequence usually begins with an independent introductory sentence or an Alleluia (an intonation with its own melody) then follow several pairs of strophes, each pair with its own melody in the earlier periods the conclusion is uniformly an independent sentence of shorter or longer form. The Sequence differs also in structure and melody from the hymn for whilst all the strophes of a hymn are always constructed according to the same metre and rhythm and are sung to the same melody as the first strophe, it is the peculiarity of the Sequence, due to its origin, that (at least in those of the first epoch) each strophe or pair of strophes is constructed on a different plan.
The Sequence ( Sequentia)-or, more accurately as will be seen further on, the Prose ( Prosa)-is the liturgical hymn of the Mass, in which it occurs on festivals between the Gradual and the Gospel, while the hymn, properly so called, belongs to the Breviary. Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more all for only $19.99.
