Heard

Falsobordone practice · 1480–1750

Sardinian Holy Week cuncordu takes chordal sacred recitation — held triads, Latin or gosos verse, confraternity rite — from the same early-modern church world as falsobordone.

Influence

Cuncordu

tradition · 16th century–

Also called concordu, Sardinian Holy Week polyphony

Sardinian sacred multipart singing for Holy Week and confraternity rites: chordal, often Latin or gosos verse, a different room from pastoral Canto a tenore. It is a tradition. It hears Falsobordone for the psalm-chord job, not Plainchant or Renaissance polyphony directly. Festival cuncordu leftover as continuity. Georgian polyphony leftover as a typological sibling, hop refused. Canto a tenore leftover as a pastoral sibling, not a parent. Italian folk leftover as a refused catch-all. Empty extra Given is historically checked.

Mechanism

Sardinian Holy Week Cuncordu takes chordal sacred recitation — held triads, Latin or gosos verse, confraternity rite — from the same early-modern church world as falsobordone. Strength medium. How much is imported psalm-chords versus older local multipart is contested.

Evidence

Named village cuncordu repertories (Castelsardo, Orosei); Holy Week function; Lortat-Jacob on Sardinian sacred song; the wider Italian map of popular falsobordone.

Debate

Whether cuncordu “is” falsobordone. Consensus: it is a Sardinian school that heard the church chordal job, not a chapel practice under another name. Do not hang Canto a tenore on this edge. Do not also draw Plainchant or Renaissance polyphony onto cuncordu; those stop at falsobordone.
