Ambrosian Chant is one of the oldest forms of Christian sacred music, originating in Milan during the early centuries of the Church. This recording offers a rare glimpse into the sound of the Early Christian Church, with chants that date back to a time before Gregorian chant emerged as the dominant form.

Named after Saint Ambrose, bishop of Milan in the 4th century, Ambrosian Chant developed as part of the Ambrosian Rite—a liturgical tradition still in use today in the Archdiocese of Milan. Unlike Gregorian chant, Ambrosian chant features free rhythmic flow, a more ancient modal structure, and a distinct melodic identity rooted in early Latin and Eastern Christian traditions.

This music consists of primitive Christian recitations, psalm tones, antiphons, and hymns sung in Latin. It represents the oral tradition of early Church worship, passed down through centuries as a living echo of the faith and prayer of the first Christian communities.

🎧 In this recording, you will hear:
Ambrosian plainsong sung in its authentic, unaccompanied form
Ancient Christian music from the early liturgy of the Western Church
The recitative tones used in early Latin Christian worship
A soundscape that predates Gregorian chant and reflects the roots of Western sacred music
