Quote:I'm only a music lover but Gregorian chants are not from Roman epoch - they are Carolingian chants. There's CD by Sequentia "Chant Wars" - Benjamin Bagby traces different approaches to performing of chants in Carolingian France. So - I think it's hard to find a person who likes ancient music and don't like Gregorian chants - but why desinform yourself - listening to authentic pieces (like it or not) - you are closer to understanding of the culture of that particular epoch even if they sound too Greek for you.Vortigern Studies:2d8mn5e5 Wrote:Comerus Gallus Romus:2d8mn5e5 Wrote:I heard the CD's, but they sing in Greek, I was hoping Latin..Gioi! hock: Since when would you be disappointed when you hear Greek, not Latin? :twisted:
It is not that, I forgot that early christian was not Gregorian chant.
But early Christian Chant like that, even if chanting in Latin, sound too greek.
I like Lating in gregorian chants
PS: I like both languages though
By the way early Christian Hymn to Holy Trinity (2-3 c. A.D.) is presented on CDs of Ancient Greek Music by Atrium Musicae De Madrid, Ensemble De Organographia and Annie Belis and Kerylos Ensemble. All 3 versions are differs from each other but all of them sounds very beautiful.
