Guido of Arezzo (991/992 – 1050) came up with a method for teaching the singers to learn chants in a short time, and quickly became famous throughout north Italy. However, he attracted the hostility of the other monks at the abbey, prompting him to move to Arezzo, a town which had no abbey, but which did have a large group of cathedral singers, whose training Bishop Tedald invited him to conduct.

By the 13th century, the neumes of Gregorian chant were usually written in square notation on a staff with four lines and three spaces and a clef marker. In square notation, small groups of ascending notes on a syllable are shown as stacked squares, read from bottom to top, while descending notes are written with diamonds read from left to right. In melismatic chants, in which a syllable may be sung to a large number of notes, a series of smaller such groups of neumes are written in succession, read from left to right. A special symbol called the custos, placed at the end of a system, showed which pitch came next at the start of the following system. Special neumes such as the oriscus, quilisma, and liquescent neumes, indicate particular vocal treatments for these notes. This system of square notation is standard in modern chantbooks.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
suscipe deprecationem nostram
Tell me why I feel so sad, so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad, so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad
Qui sedes ad dexteram patris, miserere nobis
Gratias agimus tibi,
propter magnum gloriam tuum
Tell me why I feel so sad, so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad, so sad
Tell me why I feel so sad
Jesu Christu, Amen
Jesu Christu (so sad, so sad, so sad) Amen
Jesu Christu, Amen
Jesu Christu, Amen
The song "So Sad" by Gregorian is an emotional track that captures the sense of despair and confusion that comes with heartbreak. The use of the Latin hymn "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" adds to the mournful tone of the song. The repeated phrase "Tell me why I feel so sad" expresses the singer's confusion as to why they are feeling so down. The lines "Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis" and "Qui sedes ad dexteram patris, miserere nobis" translate to "You who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us" and "You who sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us" respectively. These lines emphasize a sense of longing for forgiveness and redemption.
The chorus of "Jesu Christu, Amen" feels like a plea for help and a release of emotion, as if the singer is asking for divine intervention to ease their sadness. The repetition of "so sad" throughout the song signifies the overwhelming nature of the emotion being felt. The use of Latin in the hymns and the addition of Gregorian chants adds a sense of timelessness and universality to the message of the song.
Overall, "So Sad" by Gregorian is a beautiful and emotional masterpiece that captures the experience of heartbreak and the resulting feelings of confusion and despair. The combination of the traditional Latin hymns and the modern pop sound creates a unique and haunting sonic experience.
