Music comes from the ancient greek MUSES, who were the nine goddesses of art and science. Music actually began around 500 B.C. When pythagoras experimented with acoustics and how they math related to tones formed from plucking strings. The main form of music during the middle ages was the Gregorian chant, named for pope Gregory I. This music was used in the catholic churches to enhance the services. It consisted of a sacred Latin text sung by monks without instrumentation. The chant is sung in a monophonic texture, which means there is only one line of music. It has a free-flowing rythm with little or no set beat. The chant were originally all passed through oral tradition, but the chants became so numerous that the monks began to notate them.
