dc.descriptionThis study investigates the function and adaptation of Gregorian chant within the liturgical and musical practice of the Saxon Unitarian community of 17th-century Transylvania. Focusing on the manuscript gradual MSU 1042 (Cluj, 1622), compiled by the Saxon cantor Lorenz Budaker under the episcopate of Valentin Radecke, the research situates the source within the broader framework of post-Reformation chant transmission. Although the repertoire exhibits stylistic and textual affinities with German Lutheran and medieval Hungarian models, it also demonstrates deliberate revisions consistent with Unitarian (Antitrinitarian) theological principles. Comparative analysis with contemporary Hungarian Unitarian sources reveals a strikingly independent evolution of the Saxon repertory, underscoring the bilingual and confessional diversity of early modern Transylvanian musical culture. Despite its limited number of chant items, the MSU 1042 gradual provides unique evidence for the persistence and contextual redefinition of Gregorian idioms within a heterodox Protestant milieu.en-US
