Gregorian chant
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Gregorian chant · Around 750 the Frankish kings Pepin and Charlemagne wanted singing throughout their realm to be done as in Rome. In Metz, where Bishop Chrodegang had singers trained, Roman chant fused with the local Gallican chant; the result later took its name from Pope Gregory the Great. To remember the melodies, neumes appeared, little signs above the text. Around 1025 Guido of Arezzo added the staff.
Listening
Listening tip. Listen to how the monks sing in unison, without a beat and without accompaniment, and to how the melody follows the text: sometimes one note per syllable, sometimes a long flourish on a single vowel.
