More info on the Gregorian Chant: The music is of Roman origin and is very melodic. It is also very melismatic. The Roman liturgy consisted of these Gregorian chant. It is also considered a plainchant form of music, and plainchant music is totally something I would download right now if I were you. This music is a great part of the Roman tradition and the modes, repertory, melody, notation, and other awesome features of this music are worth a listen! The music is generally sung in Latin, so as you can guess the Roman liturgy chant consits of Latin, rather than Italian, language. Oh and don’t forget – this was mainly music for the Mass. In fact much of music is referred to as “Mass.” I’m not talking about mass in terms of heaviness or physics. I’m talking about the church. Liturgy is church literature, so Gregorian Chant is Roman music of the liturgy (liturgical music) which means Roman music of the Mass, or Roman music of the church.

So take a moment of peace and learn some more! Gregorian Chant (and by extension the Gregorian Master of Chant) were based on Pope Gregory, an awesome pope who invented the
Julian calendar. The Roman music came soon after, but let’s learn about the Gregorian calendar. It contains a leap year, and is fully Latin. The history of these type of calendars is very interesting, in that every day of the week goes in a cycle. There are leap days, much like there are melodies in music. There are also modes of repertory in the calendar, just like the Gregorian Master of Chant and the monks chant. The day of the week is awesome in Gregorian times, but in the end there are 400 years in a Gregorian cycle. Pretty interesting stuff eh? Definitely check out the Gregorian Masters of Chant and let me know what you think!
