Catholicism's effect on music encompasses the Gregorian Chant, works commissioned by the church for classical music, and the origins of Solfège.

History

[edit]

Gregorian Chant

[edit]

Main article : Gregorian Chant

Pope Gregory I is usually credited with creating the Gregorian chant, but most scholars agree he introduced the chant from earlier Roman and Gallican Chants.[1] These chants are usually sung with no music, and can be sung using six-note patterns called hexachords.[2] These are notably still notated today using neume, the way in writing music in which our current music notation evolved from, and are usually credited with popularizing neume.[3]

Solfège

[edit]

Main article : Solfège

Solfèdge was created by benidictian monk Guido of Arezoo to help simplify the concepts of pitch for his students.[4] Guido got musical syllables from the latin hymn "Ut queant laxis", a hymn made for the Catholic saint, St. John the Baptist, by another benidictian monk named Paulus Diaconus, or Paul the Deacon.[5] At the time of its creation, the system originally only had five musical syllables; Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, La.[6] Over time though, it evolved into the solfèdge system we know today.[7]

Classical Music

[edit]

Main article : Classical Music

During the Classical Period, many different writers, like Ludwig Van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadues Mozart, wrote music for the Catholic mass. A substantial amount of famous classical music pieces, like Reqiuem in D minor, were written for specific Catholic masses like Easter or Christmas.[8]
