evovae
evovae or euouae. This ‘word’ consists of the vowels of ‘seculorum, Amen’, being the last words of the Gloria Patri (see doxologia), and is used as a name for the cadential endings of the Gregorian Psalm tones. These letters are often placed under the notes of the plainsong as an abbreviation of the words they represent.
