Psallentes and composed by Etienne de Liege.
Gregorian Chant is one of the oldest froms of religious music. Given its name in around 590 after Pope Gregory the Great , This form of worship has been used for years. Gregorian Chant was extremly popular in the middle ages and was created in monasteries. Traditionally this form of music is learnt by ear or viva voce which takes many years to perfect. Despite the popular beliefe that Gregorian Chant was created by Pope Gregory I, in truth it was just dedicated to him. There have been traces of this music in Ancient Roman times which was then called Gallican Chant.
When listening to this music I feel as if I should be in church. Not at home Youtubing this genre. Knowing that this music is traditionally Christian (often Catholic) I feel closer to God (i'm Catholic), and this brings me a sence of calm. With this being a form of music performed in acapella style the performers have to place all their energy into making their voices rise and fall without the guide of an instrument. The Harmonies found in Gregorian Chant are breathtaking. the atb is fantastic. My favorite part is when the singers are all on different parts of the song (a round) and how even though the notes are different they seem to blend!
