Sacred Music: Plain Song also called Gregorian Chant Monophonic – steps, skips, repeated notes Syllabic chant – each syllable gets a note Neumatic chant – syllables receive 1 to 12 notes Melismatic chant- syllabes have doz’s pitches a capella – All music was done this way because musical instruments were banned in the RCC. Organ especially bad. Byzantine – predates Gregorian - Only 8 scales

Music for the Mass: The Ordinary – always remains the same –Kyrie Eleison –Gloria in Excelsis Deo –Credo –Sanctus and Benedictus –Paeter Noster –Agnus Dei
