It is necessary to introduce here why the orchestra's name is "Gregorian", which originated from "Gregorian Chant", which is a hymn sung in the formal liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church and originated from the medieval Roman Catholic Church. At that time, there was a pope named Gregory I. He edited these hymns into volumes, so later generations called it "Gregory's hymns."
This kind of chant music is inseparable from liturgy. They can be regarded as "functional music", that is, music with special functions and has no entertainment value. They are mainly intended to express the religious connotation of the lyrics, without focusing on functional beauty or emotional appeals. But what is interesting is that many medieval music and folk songs are adapted from the tunes of Gregorian hymns.
✟✟✟✟✟《Gregorian Anthem (Gregorian Anthem)》
Sacred Music is closely related to daily life for medieval Europeans. At that time, every member of the community had to attend religious gatherings and sing hymns at the gatherings. "Gregorian chants" is one of the synonyms of medieval music and has a profound influence on later generations.
✟✟✟✟ "The Raven"
It can be seen that Frank Peterson's original creation of the Gregorian Choir was a very ambitious plan, determined to create music that can stand the test, subvert traditional pop music, give sacred connotations and unique arrangements. The band's first album, Masters Of Chant, was regarded as an experimental harmonic album, and after its release, it received rave reviews and was regarded as a "new invention." People are increasingly welcome to the Gregorian Orchestra, and they are invited to perform in many cathedrals in Europe, often full.

Conclusion: The uniqueness and powerful comprehensive musical ability of the Gregorian Choir itself have become increasingly regarded as a symbol of innovation in religious hymns in Europe, where the religious atmosphere is strong. When we feel their music, we can repent, expect, be lonely, strong, compassionate, and reflect, and in the end they all turn into positive energy to move forward bravely.
