A traditional form of music and meditation in the Catholic Church is the Gorgonian chants. They are named after Pope Saint Gregory the Great who was in service from 590 to 604. These arrangements of music are often sung with a verbal Roman Latin chant. The words come from bible verses, biblical readings, and are commonly kept simple so that all may participate. The Gregorian melodies have individuality and characteristic expressions and are used to share prayer.

It is always monophonic which means that there is only one note sound at a time and no harmonies are generated.
