Jesus and Gregorian Chant in Context
Jesus Christ would have sung Gregorian chant?
Yes and no. Jesus Christ would have known several
chants that are
now held within the Gregorian canon.
Obviously, he would have sung them in Hebrew
and not Latin.
But because the entirety of scripture used to be sung, like it's fairly
modern that we speak scripture, whenever Jesus Christ is quoting the Old
Testament, he's actually singing the words,
however that melody went.
But o- one piece in particular that he would have sung is Psalm 114, and
he very likely sang this before going to his death.
So at the Last Supper with his disciples, you can imagine them in the upper room
singing the Psalm 114.
Why would he sing Psalm 114?
As part of the Passover feast-
Mm
... uh, the Psalms. The way it would have s- sounded like
is something like this.
Something like that.
