No it can't..
1. You have Ambrosian Rite and Liturgy, but you don't have a proper "ambosian chant".. The Ambrosian Rite is always accompained by Gregorian chant..
2. Ambrosian Rite is an absolute exclusive of the Archdiocese of Milan.. and this video was recorded in Florence, as the title says.

As others already wrote, it's not gregorian chant.
They're simply singing the Vesper prayer (in italian.. not in latin..)

68gstandard, you are right. It does not have the Gregorian modes formulated in it. It is obviously not Gregorian Chant because it is not constructed with the free flowing neums. It sounds like a responsorial psalm in the venicular Italian. I apologize for my mistake. I should know better because I love Gregorian Chant. Feel free to talk with me anytime about chant.

Could it be Ambrosian Chant?

Cajun,
It's chant, but not Gregorian.
I direct a Gregorian chant schola,
and have sung it for many years.
They are singing some kind of a formula
but it is not one of the 8 Gregorian
psalm tones.

Well 68sqstandard it sounds like Gregorian chant to me let me explain why. For one it's choral and it sounds like their are no distinguished harmony notes. I think this is Gregorian chant for one it's in Latin, sectional. Listen to the glorification of the Trinity in Latin again a Gregorian element. I've never heard that in a responsorial psalm. Praise be Jesus Christ! Long live Holy mother Church.

viva la revolucion! ...
the essence of mankind is the ability to love.
the essence of religion is faith in God, who IS love, and who created man to be in union with Him.
Religion, especially Holy Mother Church, discourages evil in favor of righteousness. She is suited for ALL people, educated and uneducated.
She doesn't fit into YOUR progressive 21st century, but she fits into other's lives who are unbound by the modernist secular world in which we all happen to live.

This is not Gregorian chant. This is a psalm responsory being sung during a Mass. It sounds somewhat like Gregorian chant because it has a formula melody, something like the traditional Gregorian psalm tones, but it is not Gregorian chant. Thanks for the posting anyway.
