Latin Chant

Latin chant refers to a style of liturgical music used in Christian worship, particularly within the Catholic Church. Characterized by its monophonic (single melodic line) and unaccompanied nature, it often features Latin text and is performed by choirs or congregations. Gregorian chant is the most well-known form, featuring free-flowing melodies that follow the natural rhythms of speech. This ancient tradition, rooted in medieval spirituality, is meant to enhance the prayer experience, invoking a sense of reverence and contemplation during religious services. Though it may sound archaic, it continues to influence modern sacred music.
