Tuotilo

Tuotilo

Saint Tuotilo (Tutilo, Tutilo von Gallen, Tutilo of Gall, Tutilo of Saint Gall) (ca. 850—ca. 915) was a medieval monk and composer. Born in Ireland, he is said to have been a large and powerfully built man. He was educated at the Abbey of St. Gall and remained to become a monk there. He was the friend of Notker of St. Gall, with whom he studied music under Moengal. Around 900 he visited St. Alban's Abbey, Mainz, a sister benedictine abbey. From there he transferred two ivory plates for the Evangelium Longum to his home abbey and carved them.

Tuotilo could, anachronistically, be called a renaissance man: he was a speaker, poet, hymnist, architect, painter, sculptor, metal worker, and mechanic.

Tuotilo was buried at a chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine in St. Gall, which was later renamed for him. His feast day is celebrated on March 28.

Tuotilo's Music

Tuotilo played several instruments, including the harp. The history of the ecclesiastical drama begins with the trope sung as Introit of the Mass on Easter Sunday. It has come down to us in a St. Gallen manuscript dating from the time of Tuotilo (see Easter Drama).

Most of his compositions have been lost.

Tuotilo's Art

Tuotilo's paintings can be found at Konstanz, Metz, Saint-Gall, and Mainz.
