Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Gregorian chant - History

Unaccompanied singing (a cappella) has been part of the liturgy of the Christian church since its beginnings. Three separate roots for singing of chant have been proposed: the musical practice in the synagogue during the apostolic period; early Christian tradition; and pagan traditions, music for which is now lost. For the first few centuries, up until about 400, information is very scant indeed. The best we can get is information from the Old and New Testament and other ancient sources. Most of them write in a very poetic or obscure way about music, so it is hard to make any sound statements about ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Gregorian chant - History

Unaccompanied singing (a cappella) has been part of the liturgy of the Christian church since its beginnings and was probably inherited from Jewish customs in temple and, later, synagogue services. About the first few centuries, up until about 400, information is very scant indeed. The best we can get is information from the Old and New Testament and other ancient sources. Most of them write in a very poetic or obscure way about music, so it is hard to make any sound statements about ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Vedic chant - Divine Sound

Portions of the Vedic literature are almost like textbooks on sound, elucidating the use of sound as a spiritual tool. They assert that the entire cosmic creation began with sound: "By His utterance came the universe." (Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad 1.2.4). The Vedanta-sutras add that ultimate liberation comes from sound as well (anavrittih shabdat). Primal sound is referred to as Shabda Brahman - 'God as word'. Closely related to this is the concept of Nada Brahman - 'God as sound'. 'Nada', a Sanskrit word meaning sound, is related to th ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - List of slogans and chants opposing the Iraq war - Chants

Rhyming or rhythmic chants, written to be yelled by large groups at demonstrations, can be divided into several categories, based on the message or politics they express. Some chants simply reject the war or the Bush administration: "What do we want? Peace/Troops Out/Justice! When do we want it? Now!"[1] "Support our troops, bring them home!"[2] See also:

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Gregorian chant - The music and its performers

In most Western music since the Renaissance there are two modes: Major and minor. The Major scale is built upon the Do and the minor scale the La. The various keys that are used affect only the range of the notes, or the pitch. Essentially the scale is the same, only transposed, or moved, to a different range. Many hear Gregorian chant and think of it as a very simplified version of modern music. While it is simple in its lack of harmony, the modal system involved is quite complex, and is directly descended from the octoechos system of eight modes used by the medieval ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Christian music - Gregorian chant

Main article: Gregorian chant Around the 8th to 10th centuries, Gregorian chant, a form of monophonic, unaccompanied singing, developed in the Catholic church. While its roots are somewhat obscure, the chant was classified into eight modes derived from Byzantine chant. The texts that are chanted are mostly from the Bible, and mostly in Latin (there are some Greek texts such as Kyrie eleison and Hagios Theos}. Gregorian chant has gone through periods of decline and revival, most notably, the revival at Solesmes, where an official Vatican Edition of the Chant was produced.

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Berwick Rangers F.C. - Chant

An amusing chant used by Berwick Rangers was featured in a question on a special edition They Think It's All Over, a TV quiz show. It is possible that the chant was a hoax, although footage of fans using the chant was used. The format is such that the volume-gifted leader shouts out the line, and the group repeats his words, with a variation in the initial line. Go left go right go pick sticks, Go left go right go leh-eft (Repeat) I wanna be a Berwick Ranger (Repeat) Only live for sex and ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Kurt Angle - History of the You Suck! Chant

Shortly after the ending of the "invasion" storyline in the WWE, Kurt Angle did a quick switch from face to heel. It was during this time period, on a random RAW TV recording, that the live crowd began to chant "YOU SUCK!" during Kurt Angle's entrance music. At first, Angle did not respond. After a few weeks, the crowd began to chant "WHAT!?!" after chanting "YOU SUCK!" during Angle's theme, since Angle was feuding with Stone Cold Steve Austin at the time, and "WHAT!" was the catchphrase of that popular wrestler. It finally grew to proportio ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Byzantine music - The extent of Byzantine music culture vs. liturgical chant proper

The term Byzantine music is commonly associated with what should more correctly be termed the medieval sacred chant of Christian Churches following the Orthodox rite. The identification of "Byzantine music" with "eastern Christian liturgical chant" is a misconception due to historical cultural reasons. Its main cause is the leading role of the Church as bearer of learning and official culture in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), a phenomenon that was not always that extreme but that was exacerbated towards the end of the em ...

Cheerleading came about at Princeton University in the 1880s with the crowd chant, "Rah rah rah, tiger tiger tiger, sis sis sis, boom boom boom ahhhhhhh, Princeton Princeton Princeton!" as a way to encourage school spirit at football games.

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Note value - History of note values

Note value - Gregorian chant. Although note heads of various shapes, and notes with and without stems appear in early Gregorian chant manuscripts, most scholars agree that these symbols do not indicate different durations, although the dot is used for augmentation. See neume. In the 13th century, chant was sometimes performed according to rhythmic modes, roughly equivalent to meters; however, the note shapes still did not indicate duration in the same way as modern note values. ...

Chanting: Encyclopedia II - Byzantine music - Origins and Early Christian Period

The tradition of eastern liturgical chant, encompassing the Greek-speaking world, developed in the Byzantine Empire from the establishment of its capital, Constantinople, in 330 until its fall in 1453. It is undeniably of composite origin, drawing on the artistic and technical productions of the classical age, on Jewish music, and inspired by the monophonic vocal music that evolved in the early Christian cities of Alexandria, Antioch and Ephesus. Byzantine chant manuscripts date from the 9th century, while lectionaries of biblical rea ...
