Monastery music is a type of music that is typically sung by monks in a monastery. It is often referred to as chant, which is a word derived from the Latin word 'cantare' meaning 'to sing'. Monastery music is usually performed in a call-and-response style, with one monk singing a line and the other monks responding in unison. The CHANTS are usually religious in nature and are used to help the monks focus on their spiritual practice.
