Ave Maris Stella: According to Professor Robert Greenberg (Great Courses guidebook), this hymn originated sometime in the 8th century C.E., and typifies plainchant hymns be being monophonic (one melody only), conjunct (fluid and singable), with rhythm being dictated purely by the words being sung. Plainchant hymns are also the only written music to have survived from the Dark Middle Ages (600-1000C.E.) Humbling, indeed.
