Old Roman chant
Old Roman chant is the liturgical plainchant repertory of the Roman rite of the Roman Catholic Church formerly performed in Rome, closely related to but distinct from the Gregorian chant which gradually supplanted between the 11th century and the 13th century. Unlike other chant traditions such as Ambrosian chant, Mozarabic chant, and Gallican chant, Old Roman chant and Gregorian chant share essentially the same liturgy and the same texts, and many of their melodies are closely related.
