Does anyone know of a good book on the history of Gregorian chant?

I listen to a CD of
Gregorian every night.It’s a way of saying, ‘the busyness of the day is over, reflect and say a prayer, let go of worries, leave them to God’.

I know St. Augustine mentioned them as ‘the eastern chant’. I would like to know more of the history.

My sainted Mother, a convert to Catholicism, always deplored the post Vatican II chuch music. She said if young people needed musical entertainment to attend Mass they gained nothing from being there.

Good to see more interest in this.

I have 6 CDs of Gregorian Chants in my collection (plus John Micheal Talbot’s album of Chants with sparse instrumental accompaniment).

My humblest apologies, I looked at Vaquero's .36 sec video of several Monks banging their heads with a board every .5 sec. LOL I found it humorous.

I went back and discovered your Music for the Soul video and watched it. I have a couple Gregorian chant CD's and love them. I have never seen a video of them which was a treat to see as I do so love their melodic a cappella.

Thanks for posting this thread. Some wonderful music on a rainy morning. I have listened to 5 or 6 of their chants so far. Then I came across this one ... from one of my favorite groups Dire Straits. Have always loved the guitar work of this group. Wow!:
