At mass today, we chanted the Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus dei in honor of the feast of St. Gregory the Great. In that same spirit, here's another piece of Gregorian chant.

I hope it's not cheating, but I put a mild reverb on it because the flat acoustic of my computer corner grows wearing.
In your August 15th post (Kyrie), you said that you were, "unsure if I'm chanting it, or just singing it."

Chanting doesn't rely on an external rhythm (such as four beats to a measure) but follows the internal rhythm of the words and the structure of the neumes.
