Gregorian is a German band, headed by Frank Peterson, performing Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment, the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant.
Originally, Gregorian was conceived as a more pop-oriented group in the vein of Enigma. Under this concept, they recorded the 1991 album Sadisfaction, with lead vocals provided by The Sisters of Oz: Susana Espelleta (Peterson's wife at the time) and Birgit Freud. However, this was the only album in that style.
In 1998, Peterson and his team re-invented the project to perform popular songs in the Gregorian style. The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. After the songs were chosen, twelve vocalists - previously acclaimed session singers - were hired to form a choir.
The concept proved to be successful, and the group proceeded to record several more Masters of Chant albums in the same style. Their 2004 album, The Dark Side, was a slight departure from the others, featuring a darker repertoire consistent with the title.
In 2005, The Masterpieces, a compilation album with a live DVD, was released.
A fifth Masters of Chant album is scheduled for release on March 31, 2006.

Ewan ko..
Ayon dun sa nakasulat sa taas.. Walang nabanggit na kahit anong hint ng pagka-religious or so ng Gregorian.
Ayon sa mga mp3 na meron ako.. Actually, lahat ng kanta nila..
Mga cover songs nga lang yun. At feel ko, madami yung parang
pinipili nila yung title na medyo may katungkulan sa heaven or the like.
Example ay yung Stairway to Heaven, Losing My Religion, My Immortal,
Tears in Heaven, Angels, at pati yung dance song na Heaven is a Place On Earth (Ooooh, heaven is a place on earth (2x)... ).
Sa tingin ko, kaya yang mga kantang yan e ginawa nila, para medyo ma-relate na ang 'Gregorian Chant' ay ginagamit sa Catholic church.
Pano naman yung mga songs na ginawa nila na:
The End by The Doors (Controversial dahil sa modern Oedipus theme.)
Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (Sana kilala nyo sila para maintindihan nyo yung point ko. Hehe.)
Uninvited by Alanis Morissette (Wala lang. >.<)
Imagine by John Lennon (Isipinin nyo nalang din.)
Ayun.. so para sakin.. Wala lang.. Trip lang nila yang mga
pinag-gagagawa nila.
Pero ulitin ko una kong statement.. Ewan ko.. xd
