Gregorian Chant Notation

[@dondeestaCarter]

Great video but a small correction... Pope Gregory has nothing to do with Gregorian Chant. Our Music History teacher taught us that it was an homage paid by Alcuin, who was in charge of of Charlemagne´s liturgical reformation. Alcuin was "british" and Pope Gregory introduced ROMAN chant into the isles centuries earlier, so he suggested to name the new chant after the old pope. History books disagree with my teacher on the true reason for the name, but everyone (my teacher and the books) agree that Pope Gregory and the Chant have nothing escential to do with each other, they were separate events in the timeline. Still a very good post, not much on this subject on the internet. I see your channel is small now. I hope it grows, keep it up!!

Excellent video which makes its topic interesting. Well done! And yes, there was a synthesis of liturgy in the Franco-Roman empire and probably Franco-Roman would be more appropriate as Gregorian chant for a name. However, Gregory is the Pope Gregorian chant gets its name and which is commonly used.

[@jordimartinez4295]

I wanted to comment the same. My music history teacher told us that it was a propaganda action. Using the name of a Pope with a good reputation, so that the every one would accept the new chant more easily.

[@RadTradX]

Pope Gregory the Great did standardize the Gregorian Chant. Your music teacher wont know more about Church history than Priests 😊

Thank you for this video! My son is 16 years old and a sophomore at a Catholic high school here in Virginia. If you go to his KZbin channel 'Mr. Roy Wulf', you can see a video of a presentation he did a week ago about his love for Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony.

What a great video! I had always wanted to know how to read Gregorian notation each time I saw some

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm really intrigued by Gregorian chant.

[@samacapella]

Thanks for posting this video, I needed a quick crash course and this was very informative!

[@dwlumpkin7726]

Thank you so much Melanie.

[@TheDrawfs]

This is an excellent and informative video. Thank you!

First music notes were found in Syria. The note [on a rock] is at the music museum in Moscow, Russia 🤩

Sending you warm holiday vibes from this music video! 🎄✨ Enjoy the festive melodies!

Thanks for sharing that. In transcribing Indian and Arab masters there are many shades where weight and ornament are subtle... Some my own symbology made as a convenient pencil notation resembles this Gregorian stuff.... While I don't want to re-invent any wheels, Contemporary notation falls short for unmetered stuff... The linguistics software PRAAT generates nicely, ornamental details. Sibelius notation is painstaking for unmetered music - most people use barlines then 'hide' them afterwards etc...

I am hoping that someone might be able to help me out. Now, as we all know, on modern notation, the lines are EGBDF and the spaces are FACE. I was able to find out that on Gregorian staffs, the lines and spaces are switched, with the lines being usually, FACE and the spaces being EGBDF, usually. What I would like to know is this. The "C" cleff, which is also known as the "DO" clef has me confused. From watching the movie "The Sound of Music", the words are DO, RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TI, DO. Now, that being said, is the "C / DO" clef on the first "DO" or the last "DO"? How am I supposed to know, where the "DO" go, when the information I have come across is lacking in details?

[@Likes_Trains]

George Pierson in Neumes "Do" is actually called "Ut" and lies on C. Where ever the C clef is on the stave, is where the C line lies. You can count up from the C clef. So you have Ut (C), re, mi, fa, Sol, la. Under the C and above "la" you have to mutate to a different hexachord. Look up mutation and the Gamut if you want to be able to sing these!

[@stephencodekas3745]

Bit late but DO moves, it's not set like in modern notation.

[@andymacfarlane4146]

It's a bit like the alto or tenor clef used for modern-day violas and tenor trombones, to name but two: the line the clef centres on is middle C.

[@ChrisS-ps4lg]

Wonderful video - quick paced and to the point. Thanks for posting.

[@zeeyangs.r9106]

concise and informative, thank you!

[@CyanideSpit12]

Nice Vid! Thank You! 4:55

[@michaeljaguardumdum]

Great video - I'm going to share it with my students, and it's the best I've found so far in all the various historical notation videos I've been looking at. Just a quick question - what's with the background music?

[@ericportillo8277]

Thank you for your work and research great stuff, love the background music too, can I download it?

[@rodrigodemarsillac]

Really good and informative! Great work, thank you so much

[@sarahrice5408]

super informative! thanks!

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

Hey, that was really good

[@huntermorgan6177]

Awesome video, but the hand pencil animation is a little distracting, especially since is seems to bug out at times.

[@EliteTrainingForBasketball]

This was really helpful. Thank you! #miggle

[@user-gq1sh4kf4w]

After 8 seconds, I saw one of that your quaver’s was incorrectly written. There are rules regarding stems.

[@SBrandonBo]

*quavers There are rules regarding basic pluralization.

[@seanhale7915]

Nice concise summary! Only suggestion would be to get rid of the tiresome background track which has no relevance to the material covered. A bit of a missed opportunity as you could illustrate the note structures with sound.

[@LarkSongMedia]

Great video concept! But, you have several errors which make it a little sloppy..I see several are already mentioned, so I'll just add this one. At time line 4:05 you've made the mistake of representing the 1/4 note which you are instructing about with the figure of a half note. Big error. You really should go bak and correct the little issues. It would really be worth it. Good luck!!

[@EgeYakut]

Please use pop filter. And thanks for the information :)

[@POCCNRCKNbY]

Good video, but you NEED a pop filter.

[@Agentur99]

Nice! But if you could colour in your "eighth note", I could use this in class.

[@Jessie9598]

Squiggle in the miggle!

[@GekkeMan1]

next time dont talk directly in yo your mic but turn in 45 degrees... you cant listen to this with headphones because off al the "p" sounds just blowing your ears out. but thanks for the vid anyways

[@DonVueltaMorales]

Parchment is animal skin, hun, not paper. Diastematic (extra syllable there). Fix some of your pronunciations, both English and Latin, ask someone who knows Latin. But nice.

[@annebronte6684]

The information is ok, but the speech rhythm and pronunciation of the speaker is unbearable . I sorry to say this as it is obvious a young person's voice. Too bad.
