A cappella music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. A cappella is Italian for like in the chapel (music); the term is due to the fact that Christian churches sang without instrumental accompaniment for the first several hundred years of its existence. It is often misspelled as acapella or a capella, which is derived from the Latin spelling (but in Latin capella means small goat).

strictly speaking it is a chant,because acapella could have scripted music written for the song but is sung without musical accompaniment.

If you sing something, then it has music (ie a tune), so it would be a poem, or at best a chant. If you mean 'without instrumental accompaniment', then it's called acapella.

Its a toss up between Grigorian Chant or Acapella.

a cappella (ah kuh-pel-uh)
Choral singing performed without instruments. The expression means “in chapel style” in Italian. Centuries ago, religious music composed for use in chapels — which, unlike large churches, had no organs — was usually for voices only.

Acapella. Don't think you need to be a "buff" for that one.
