Main Idea:
What is Gregorian Chant? Gregorian Chant is a liturgical music used in the Roman Catholic Church. It is named after St. Gregory I.
It was classified by 6 chant with different form that appeared in different centuries. The chant of Kyrie, Gloria,Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei.
A Gregorian Chant is composed to bring out the significance of each feast or season it is consisted of psalm and refrain. It is divided by two style Neumatic style and Psalm tone style.


Evidences that supports the main idea:

(According to the " Gregorian Chant")
"Gregorian chant, monophonic, or unison, liturgical music of the Roman Catholic Church, used to accompany the text of the mass and the canonical hours, or divine office. Gregorian chant is named after St. Gregory I, during whose papacy (590–604) it was collected and codified. Charlemagne, king of the Franks (768–814), imposed Gregorian chant on his kingdom, where another liturgical tradition—the Gallican chant—was in common use. During the 8th and 9th centuries, a process of assimilation took place between Gallican and Gregorian chants; and it is the chant in this evolved form that has come down to the present.”
"The Proper of the mass is composed of texts that vary for each mass in order to bring out the significance of each feast or season. The Introit is a processional chant that was originally a psalm with a refrain sung between verses. By the 9th century it had received its present form: refrain in a neumatic style—a psalm verse in psalm-tone style—refrain repeated. The Gradual, introduced in the 4th century, also developed from a refrain between psalm verses. Later it became: opening melody (chorus)—psalm verse or verses in a virtuosically embellished psalmodic structure (soloist)—opening melody (chorus), repeated in whole or in part. The Alleluia is of 4th-century Eastern origin. Its structure is somewhat like that of the Gradual. The Tract replaces the Alleluia in penitential times. This chant is a descendant of synagogue music. The offertory originally consisted of psalm and refrain, but by the 12th century only the refrain remain"
