The Beautiful Mystery
A slightly pulpy mystery novel - not my usual thing - but Erika recommended it because it's set in a monastery where the monks have become famous for their Gregorian chant, and they use the word 'neumes' all the time. I read this as we did a big push on the Neumz project at work, and so it was a very interesting top-of-mind thing. The book was otherwise... not for me. Kind of a fun read, though!

In trying to capture the beautiful mystery, this monk had invented written music. Not yet notes, what he’d written became known as neumes.
