Commentary
This is a story I’ve never told, an important one because it affects the very foundation of Western music and really all music everywhere. It doesn’t matter the style—classical, rock, rap, country, or electronic dance music—they all owe something to Gregorian chant. This foundational music is about far more than spiritual oozings during hard times. Each chant is structured to tell a story; their presence and eventual ubiquity became the whole story of how mankind came to understand his place in the universe.
