释义	plainsong /ˈpleɪnsɒŋ / noun [mass noun] Unaccompanied church music sung in unison in medieval modes and in free rhythm corresponding to the accentuation of the words, which are taken from the liturgy. Compare with Gregorian chant.Melody, harmony, and rhythm became as important to music as plainsong and counterpoint, and the arts of ornamentation and virtuoso extemporization thrived among the virginalists, and among the lute and consort players.... It's one of the sections of the Ordinary of the Mass which the congregation needs to join in: often in the Catholic church they sing it to traditional plainsong. If you have no stomach for plainsong and church polyphony, steer clear of this recording. Origin Late Middle English: translating Latin cantus planus.
