Put another way, the only difference between the Oriental Christian groups and Gregorian chant (apart from language) is the choice of melody they use. Because they're saying essentially the same things, wouldn't you agree?I think a lot of folks here would be shocked by the songs that Vietnamese and Chinese Christians are singing in their underground churches. To a great extent, they're just modifying their local melodies to the words of the Psalms and to their personal prayers...not a lot of Gregorian chanting going on.
Kind of like when David set his Psalms to local melodies like "Lillies."
Shocking.
