Excerpt from A Grammar of Plainsong: In Two Parts After this rapid glance at the history of the chant in England, we may return to its general history. II. The period inaugurated by St. Gregory (600-1600) had various phases. In the holy Pope's own time, and for ages after, his work was considered so sacred that none might touch or alter it, and as a matter of fact the great bulk of the music belonging to the Proper of the Mass, has pro bably come down to us substantially intact from St. Gregory. The ordinary of the Mass had not reached its present form in St. Gregory's time, and the music of that part is therefore ofa later date, as is that of part of the office (some Anti phons and Responsories). The liturgical movement inaugurated by Charlemagne resulted in the spread of the Roman Chant throughout France and Germany. The chief schools, founded by Roman Cantors, were at St. Gall and at Metz.
