There's a German composer (late 19th/early 20th century) who stated unequivocally that Chant was the foundation of Western music, period.

THAT'S why Bugnini and Weakland the Vandal wanted to get rid of it. Ironic that now it's a cult-top-40 item in many music stores, and more appreciated by Prots at UCLA and elsewhere than in seminaries and convents.
