	Chant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chant is the rhythmic speaking or singing of words or sounds, either on a single pitch or with a simple melody involving a limited set of notes and often including a great deal of repetition or statis.
		Chant may be considered speech, music, or a heightened or stylised form of speech which some people may consider more effective in conveying emotion or expressing, or, getting in touch with, one's spiritual side.
		The concept of chanting mantras is of particular significance in many Hindu traditions and other closely related Dharmic Religions, for example the Hare Krishna movement is based almost exclusively around the chanting of Sanskrit Names of God.

		Supporters of the chant have generally defended it by appealing to "musica sacra", a concept which suggests that the chant is artistically superior to simple, "pastoral" music.
		It might therefore be suggested that the largely clerical rejection of the chant in recent years resulted from a premature judgement, stemming from a reductionist analysis of the possible range of meanings in the liturgy and its traditional music.
		However, the performance of Anglican Chant continued to be influenced by the same rhythmic performance style until the twentieth century, when equalist rhythm was adopted in the wake of the influence of the monks of Solesmes.

	Russian Znamenny Chant, Znammeny Chant, Znameny Chant
		Znamenny chant scholarship is generally divided into three periods: the pre-Mongol period (from 988 to the mid-thirteenth century), the Mongol period (from the mid-thirteenth to the mid-fifteenth centuries), and the period of late chant (from the mid-fifteenth to the late seventeenth centuries).
		Ironically the victim of this contamination was the the new chant of the Southern and Western Slavs.
		Since the whole purpose of having the chant in church was to convey the holy liturgy in a beautiful and worshipful manner, it would not behoove a composer to treat the text lightly and conform it to a pleasing melody (as was the practice at this time in folk-songs).

	THE LITURGICAL CHANT ACCORDING TO THE CARPATHO-Rusyn TRADITION
		Chant, especially in the Byzantine Rite, became an expression of liturgical piety of the faithful, who used to come together in their churches not only for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, but also for their common prayers, offering to God their "sacrifice of praise" (Heb.
		In Subcarpathian Ruthenia liturgical chant started to be systematically cultivated only at the turn of the 18th century, when some educated cantors, who had received their musical formation in the famous monastic schools of Kiev, Pochajiv, or L'viv, arrived on the scene.
		In this way the style of chant at the Uzhorod cathedral was gradually introduced throughout the entire Eparchy of Mukachevo and, eventually, became a common heritage for all Rusyn eparchies in Europe and abroad.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gregorian Chant

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Liturgical Chant
		In the strict sense the word "chant" means a melody executed by the human voice only, whether in the form of plain or harmonized singing.
		In the widest though incorrect sense, the word "chant" is also applied to the instrumental music itself, inasmuch as its cadences imitate the inflexions of the human voice, that first and most perfect of instruments, the work of God Himself.
		Now, seeing that these chants are executed during the solemn liturgy, it follows that they ought to possess all the qualities of sacred music so as to be in keeping with the rest of the sacred function.
