see PLAIN-SONG. In the English church " chants " are the tunes set to the unmetrical verses of the psalms and canticles. The chant consisted of an " intonation " followed by a reciting note of indefinite length; a " mediation " closed the first part of the verse, leading to a second reciting note ; a " termination " closed the second part of the verse. In the English chant the " intonation " disappeared. Chants are " single," if written for one verse only, " double ," if for two. " Quadruple " chants for four verses have also been written.
