Music develops its own vocabulary, sometimes with technical words that are difficult to define. The series "Words and Notes" proposes to come back to the meaning of some of them!
Gregorian chant is used today as an umbrella term that describes a set of melodies related to Christianity. The tutelary figure of Gregory the Great, pope from 590 to 604, gives his name to this vast corpus. However, this attribution dates from the Carolingian period, more than two centuries later.
This demystification is also an opportunity to examine how plainchant marked the different composition techniques of the following centuries.
