Abstract

In medieval life, church music, especially Gregorian chant, serves to create many acoustic memories: daily events and various times and occasions. Examples of this music perception of time include church bells, the melodies of the Kyrie eleison, chanted readings, the use of hymn tunes, and melodic formulae as theological messages.
