I followed a discussion in another groupt concerning some technicalities in (mass) psalmody, where someone remarked that the practice of the "median pause" was introduced by - amongst others - Bernard of Clairvaux. I'd be interested in finding a reference to any text by him where he proposes such a pause, or indeed any (late?) text describing it as a novelty. Thanks a bunch in advance!
