We adapt a technique commonly used in the stylometric attribution of literary texts (based on a pseudo-distance between frequency-vectors of n-grams of letters) to the analysis of “unidimensio-nal” musical repertoires (rhythm-free melody without accompaniment). We successfully apply the method to a corpus of liturgical monodies of medieval origin (the so-called Gregorian Chant, in comparison with the Old Roman Chant). Our results give a first indication that automatic stylometric techniques can be fruitfully adopted to support the study of refined problems in musicology.
