Medieval Music

 

The Plainchant, also known as Gregorian chant, is the earliest forms of written music there were. It was religious in nature and used in religious services. However, there were some secular songs during this period. The earliest composers and chanters were Leonin and Perotin. I listened to the Notre-Dame Catheredal’s choir. The plainchant, Viderunt Omnes had no music. I found it very calming like the rest of the album. Throughout the entire album, I found the music normally has just main person and everyone else is in the background. Their voices are the only instruments making music. The entire album is lovely. I particularly enjoyed, Viderunt Omnes No2 salutare suum ante conspectum gentium relevati because it sounds so angelic with the high notes. I am pretty sure it sung by women
