Gregorian concert



Gregorian chant originated in monastic life, in which celebrating the 'Divine Office' eight times a day at the proper hours was upheld according to the Rule of St. Benedict.

 Singing psalms made up a large part of the life in a monastic community, while a smaller group and soloists sang the chants.

 In its long history, Gregorian chant has been subjected to many gradual changes and some reforms.
