Plainchant music is also known as plainsong and it refers to a traditional ritual singing of the Western Christian Church. It started its own development during the first centuries of Christianity. It is characterized by a single line of vocal melody (unaccompanied), Latin is the language used for it, the rhythm is free, and modes are used instead of major or minor scales. <em>Cantus planus</em> is its name in Latin.
I believe it is Gothic. Gothic consisted of abnormally high ceilings, large stained glass windows, and peaked roofs. This is what Notre Dame consists of. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
