music: Gregorian chant - Deum verum
"Gregorian chant is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic liturgical music within Western Christianity that accompanied the celebration of Mass and other ritual services. It is named after Pope Gregory I, Bishop of Rome from 590 to 604, who is traditionally credited for having ordered the simplification and cataloging of music assigned to specific celebrations in the church calendar, although it is known now that he could not have done it as a system for notating music had not been established at the time.[1] The resulting body of music is the first to be notated in a system ancestral to modern musical notation."

I hope I acquire the ability to appreciate chant, as it's intended to be enjoyed. I was bred on 3 minute pop and rock songs. Now that I'm getting older I find that popular music doesn't have the seductive power over me that it once had. In fact much of it sounds downright bland to my aging ears.

Buy a CD from the Daughters of Mary website. Put it in your CD player and listen to it regularly. They have many different CD's. I'm a fan.
They aren't necessarily Gregorian chant - Gregorian is heavy and it takes time to adjust to it and appreciate it but when you hear it at a Mass, it's immediately accessable.
The Sisters sing traditional Catholic hyms with a couple gregorian chant songs every so often.
