machaut gregorian chant.... notre dame, mass chrior 1984

[XXXXXXin]

gre·go·ri·an chant

Noun: Church music sung as a single vocal line in free rhythm and a restricted scale (plainsong), in a style developed for the medieval Latin liturgy

it is true that Guillaume de Machaut composed many Gregorian chants, however this piece in particular is not one. This is actually one of the first polyphonic pieces to become a "mass ordinary" in the church. It's four-voice parts clearly disqualifies Notre Dame Mass as a monophonic Gregorian chant.

This is not a gregorian chant

[rafael1207]

This is not a gregorian chant, it's the agnus dei from notre dame mass, which is a polyphonical set based on an agnus dei melody (that is found in tenor part, with its rhythm extended by the very-known compositional device called "talea".)

you little bitches shut the fuck up and enjoy the music, if i had it wrong it would be corrected it is as it is written notre dame mass chrior this is off a concert i own so fuck off you first year music know it alls. peace

@matthewteague I like the music, but it is true that Chrior is not a word. Look it up in any dictionary and you will find it missing where as other music terms are present. Don't try to use your music education as an excuse for bad English.

Gregorian Chant is monophonic, sacred texts. Baroque is after the Renaissance, which is after Medieval period. Guillaume De Machaut (c. 1300-1377, before Renaissance) compositions are polyphonic, and mostly in French, not Latin... just music style between Medieval and Renaissance.

Maybe you should look it up yourself next time, smart guy.

Your posting title reminds me of the story of Sir Edmund Hilary the first man to climb Everest. When asked why he climed Everest, he said, "Because it is there," Many years before that he was found as a child to be playing with himself in the bathroom by his mother. She asked, "Why are you playing with that?" His response was: "Because it is there."

a truly magnificent piece of art.... the polyphonic texture accompanies the syncopation into a gorgeous crescendo of beauty. thanks for posting.

thats what i said when my professor showed me the sheet music just for the t2 b1 lines,i just love Gregorian music.

[bush0165]

Machaut and Gregorian chant are two different things

[matthewteague]

machaut is a baroque period composer ,who did write many classic gregorian chants.

[bush0165]

what you've just said is even more wrong than what you had in the description. I'm not going to correct you or dwell on it however, just do some research if you're going teach people about this stuff. I don't mean to insult you.

[matthewteague]

i live with a piano major in 4th year,i myself am a third year classical guitar major, between the two of us we have completed 3 years of music history, if im still wrong prove it by telling me the composer other than machaut,and if it isnt him then why is this a Gregorian piece i got from a professor of mine,to study the machuat idea of syncopation?

[starbreez3]

I felt like giving a very stupid response to this, but no, I'll just be clear and fast, to try to make it less shamefull for you...

Machaut is from MEDIEVAL period, he was a composer, but also a poet, he has nothing to do with gregorian chants, but to ars nova, go to wikipedia please, I wonder how Machaut would feel in his tomb to read such a brutality that you wrote.

[magnolia9042]

@matthewteague Machaut wrote many works based on plainchant, but he himself never wrote any Gregorian Chants. This is definitely him, but it's not gregorian or baroque.

[matthewteague]

@magnolia9042 terminology miscommunication trust me.

[starbreez3]

@matthewteague I like medieval pop music, what about you?

Machaut's Notre Dame Mass is one of my favorites. Who's singing.

[matthewteague]

as far as i know it is a mass choir from England that works with the London philharmonic orchestra so long story short im not too sure.

[demonbleach13]
