Hi Will, good point of yours above - what were 6C 'folk' songs like? Lost fro ever I guess.

But from your link:

"Early church music was monophonic. That is, the whole choir sang the same melody in the form known as plainchant, where the tune follows the rhythm of the words. It is also known as Gregorian chant on the basis that it was all devised by Pope Gregory the Great,"

Howard said nothing to with St Greg
