Medieval Music: Gregorian chant by http://www.mymusictheory.com Pope Gregory in the 6th century A.D. had decided on an official list of chants to be sung in churches across Europe. Gregorian chants were solo male voice religious pieces - biblical texts set to a smooth, meandering melody. Gregorian chants basically used one syllable per note, although some more important syllables were often stretched over a long series of notes. Rhythm was not a feature - the stresses in the music simply mirrored the natural stresses of the spoken word. Because Pope Gregory wanted each church across Europe to sing the same melodies for specific texts, music had to be written down. The system which gradually developed was the use of "neumes" - flecks of the pen, written above each word of the text, to indicate whether the voice was to rise or fall. The neumes system was not capable of showing the exact pitch of a note, or rhythm, but since rhythm isn't a feature of chants in any case, this latter point was not an issue.
