ABOUT PETER'S WORK
Peter Jeffery, a musicologist, has contributed to the study of the early music of Europe and the Middle East.
Jeffery studies medieval Latin liturgy, as well as musical and textual paleography, to help reveal the origins of Gregorian chant. He is also an expert on early Roman, Byzantine, Coptic, and Ethiopian Christian plainchant, and patristic and ancient Jewish music. His application of ethnomusicology and anthropology to problems connected with early liturgical-musical practice has affected chant research. He is the author of Re-Envisioning Past Musical Cultures: Ethnomusicology in the Study of Gregorian Chant (1992) and is co-authoring a three-volume work, to be entitled Ethiopian Christian Liturgical Chant: An Anthology.
