Plainsong
Ancient chant of the Christian church. The term derived from the Latin word cantus planus. It was first codified by Ambrose, bishop of Milan (Ambrosian chant), and then by Pope Gregory in the 6th century (Gregorian chant). The melodies are monophonic (non-harmonic) and rhythmically free (unmeasured).
