Gregorian is a German band, headed by Frank Peterson, performing

Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs.

Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment,

the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant.

In 1998, Peterson and his team re-invented the project to perform

popular songs in the Gregorian style. The criteria for song selection

were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be

translatable into the 7-tone scale. After the songs were chosen,

twelve vocalists - previously acclaimed session and choir singers -

were hired.
