Gregorian chant certainly finds its most accomplished expression in what is called the Offertory anthem. This musical meditation of psalms conceals treasures of invention that attest to the level of excellence that liturgical chant managed to achieve in the Middle Ages. But even if genius is present here in every note, the taste that these melodies leave in the soul remains a unique experience.
