Answer 1

hello
yes , its related to the king of Germany, from 450 years ago,

he was known as gregorian, and was a musician who wanted to be the best in the world, he practised for many years, and at last learnt to play the penny whistle !!!

Answer 2

'Gregorian' is not a musician although i udnerstand how you'd think it might be.

Gregorian is a type of music often sung by a choir. It's medieval in origin, most ofwhat we experience from it today comes from the Renaissance period but no doubt it was there even around Jesus times. (years BC)

It has its own forms of notation and scales (not just major and minor as we mostly have to day but Phrygian, Lydian, Aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian and Ionian & they're called modes. The least common is the Locrian, which is occasionally found in Icelandic and Greek music as well as in some music of the British Isles)

Gregorian chant is music of great variety, which can be achieved from simple recitation to complex, melismatic melodies requiring the vocal skills of trained cantors.

Most of the chant repertory continues to be sung by monastic communities, who have no special musical training. It's easily within the capabilities of parish choirs today, especially when limited numbers preclude singing in harmony.

Answer 3

I really hope we are referring to the same thing when you say Gregorian, Masters of Chant.

*German producer Frank Peterson (a.k.a. Gregorian, a.k.a. the Masters of Chant) flirted with the monastic theme formula, made famous by the French group Enigma - coupling dance pop beats with breathy female vocals (courtesy of the Sisters Of OZ). The group Gregorian was born.

Read on and we’ll get to the part about the Masters of Chant.

Gregorian's debut album of '91, Sadisfaction (now-out-of-print), sprouted the hit Once In a Lifetime.

After Sadisfaction, Gregorian abandoned Spiritual House pop and opted for a ‘classical-new age-world beat’ music, featuring a heavy use of plainsong vocals. Classically and church trained session singers deliver pop covers in English, in the trademark Gregorian style. These are the Masters of Chant that we know so well.

Notes:

*Plainsong (known popularly as Gregorian chant): a form of sacred, liturgical, choral, chant music, sung a cappella (mostly) in Latin by Catholics, especially monks. It sounds musical, yet prayer-like and chant-like.

*The original Gregorian chant was named in honour of Pope Gregory II, who founded the Benedictine monastic order in the late 6th century. In a stricter sense Gregorian chant means that Roman form of early plain chant as distinguished from the Ambrosian, Galliean, and Mozarabic chants.

I have avoided delving too deep into plainsong, since you had asked specifically about Gregorian the producer.

Answer 4

Gregorian chant is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic, Gregorian chant developed mainly in the Frankish lands of western and central Europe during the 9th and 10th centuries.Gregorian chant was traditionally sung by choirs of men and boys in churches,

Answer 5

Maybe you're referring to the Gregorian Monks?? They sing a chant style of music. It's just old school... it's in the style of the monk's music back in Europe's Dark Ages.
