In onr consideration of the dramatic developments v^ithin 
the Christmas liturgy we come, finally, to th© famous Introit- 
trope Hodie cantandus est, of which Tutilo, monk of St. Grail at 
the end of the ninth century, is the well accredited author. 3 
Of this trope a simple, unrubricated form is seen in the follow¬ 
ing: 
<p. 41 > 4 Hodie cantandus est nobis puer, quern gignebat 
ineffabiliter ante tempera Pater, et eundem sub tempore gen- 
erauit inclyta <p. 42 > Mater. 
Quis est iste puer, quern tam magnis preconiis dignum 
uociferatis ? dicite nobis, ut conlaudatores esse possimus. 
Hie enim est quern presagus et electus symmista Dei ad ter¬ 
ras uenturum preuidens longe ante prenotauit, sicque predixit. 
Puer natus est nobis. Preter omnium puerorum <p. 43 >

Ex tempore quidem matri, sempiternitate uero oonsubstantialis
