The 'echoes' is called melisma, its the practice of extending a syllable over many notes, and it is beautiful isn't it?

I disagree - Vasari's book is more important as a literary genre than as an historical account, that is, history as we understand it. If by 'different' you mean that Giotto painted in a more naturalistic manner, then I invite you to look at Cimabue's frescoes in the church of Assisi, specifically the vaulted ceiling of the crossing showing the 4 spandrels with Evangelists and in particular his depiction of Rome. It is topographically accurate. I would posit that Giotto owes alot to Cimabue.

Not entirely true.
Cimabue gave the spark, which inspired other painters such as Giotto to be different.
Giorgio Vasari wrote in his book, Le Vite (the life) that Cimabue was important, but that the real starting point of the Renaissance painters started with Giotto in the 14th century, which he called the proto-Renaissance.
Later you would have painters such as Massacio and Donatello in the 15th century (pre-Renaissance) and in the 16th the divine work of Michelangelo (high-Renaissance).

placed into my playlist of Giotto, thanks

What a wonderful chant. Great choice to go along with these magnificent paintings! Where did you find the music? Do you own it on cd?

Michelanagelo considered Giotto to be his artistic grandfather. It is Giotto and Cimabue that are the 1st Renaissance painters.
I miss hearing echos Latin Music in church.

I have never hear this in a church, I imagine it would be extremely moving and if possible, it would sound even more glorious. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Peace.
