Gregorian chant, named after Pope Gregory I, who ruled as pope from 590 to 604 is a traditional form of music in Christianity. Gregorian chant originated in Monastic life in western and central Europe during the 11th and 13th centuries. It is a popular believe that listening to Gregorian chant increases the production of beta waves in the brain (increasing brain activity).

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is a solemn and traditional advent song. It’s origins are unclear – the text we know of today comes from a mid 19th-Century translation of a Catholic Latin text. However, the traditional music is though to be from a 15th-Century processional song, but could also be from a much earlier Gregorian chant.
