'''Gregorian chant''', and its close cousin, '''Old [[Roman]] chant''', were a repertory of ritual melodies, possibly influenced by the equivalent music in the Jewish liturgy, in the first few centuries of the [[Christian]] church. Much of it survives in manuscripts of the 11th to 13th centuries. Whilst originally thought to be the style of chan used in Rome during [[Gregory the Great|Gregory]]’s ministry (590-604 A.D.) it is now believed to have originated in the Frankish Empire during [[Charlemagne]]’s reign when Roman liturgy was introduced there.
It began to be replaced by [[polyphony]] as a musical style in services during the High Middle Ages]].
