I don't know of any recorded versions, that is one of the reasons I'm making
one.

Probably with relative difficulty.  I haven't been able to find even all the
deciphered melodies yet.  They are Spanish MS. dating from the 9th-12th
centuries.  The problem with the neumes is that the intervals are not
clearly shown.  The MS of St. Millan de la Cogolla, however, has some
melodies written in a different notation which is decipherable.  Also note
that only melody lines are preserved.    Albareiks
