What is a "chant"?
A chant is a simple, repetitive musical form, often featuring a single melody sung in a rhythmic and continuous manner. It is commonly used in religious or ceremonial settings, such as in church services or rituals, and is typically performed in a solemn or meditative tone. Chants are often unaccompanied and focus on delivering a clear, steady melody, making them easy to remember and sing. They can be found in various cultures and traditions, serving as a means of expressing devotion, contemplation, or storytelling.
