  2. RETO 3 HISTORY: It´s called Gregorian chant because was Gregory el Magno who invented it. Monophony is an unique voice and polyphony is a group of voices. The gregorian chant is monophony, because only has one voice. It was traditionally sung by men's and children's choirs, or by men and women of religious orders in their chapels. It was sung on the sunrise, it was performed without any instrument, except for some aerophone, like the flute or clarinet.
