Chant notation is com- pact and to the point. Ho - san - na The punctum is the only note needed to write out any chant. A space between nuemes over one word tells us that each one is sung to a different syllable of the word.

Chant notation works in much the same way as modern music notation: it's printed on lines, and the higher up the page the notes are, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. One major difference is that the Gregorian stave has four lines, rather than five.

Clovis culture is a prehistoric Paleoamerican archaeological culture, named for distinct stone and bone tools found in close association with Pleistocene fauna, particularly two Columbian mammoths, at Blackwater Locality No.

Associated with Clovis are such implements as bone tools, hammerstones, scrapers, and projectile points. The typical Clovis point is leaf-shaped, with parallel or slightly convex sides and a concave base. The edges of the basal portions are ground somewhat, probably to prevent the edge from severing the hafting cord.

Because of this type of music, “to chant” means “to repeat something in a monotone or repetitive way.” Chants have no harmony or instruments, only a simple rhythm and a lot of repetition. Definitions of chant. a repetitive song in which as many syllables as necessary are assigned to a single tone. examples: Hallel.

1. : to say (a word or phrase) many times in a rhythmic way usually loudly and with other people. [+ object] The crowd began chanting her name. They chanted “Sara, Sara” until she came back on stage.
