''In brief'': Gregorian chant is also known as plainchant or plainsong and is a form of monophonic, unaccompanied singing, which was developed in the Catholic Church, mainly during the period 800-1000. It takes its name from Pope St. Gregory the Great, who is believed to have brought it to the West based on Eastern models of [[Byzantine chant]]. This music was traditionally sung by monks or other male clerics and was used during religious services.
