Gregory I, Pope. b. Rome, 540; d. there, 604. Pope in 590. There has been much discu ion whether G. personally supervised collection of church music known as Greg or i an or whether it takes its name from the time merely; general verdict seems to be that he had a large personal share; collection includes music for the ma and other services of the Church; important not only because of wonderful, austere beauty of music itself but also because, together with the Ambrosian collection and a Spanish collection, this church music represents theory of music current m early Middle Ages.
