 Gregorian chant, which supplanted the indigenous Old Roman and Beneventan traditions, derived from a synthesis of Roman and Gallican chant in Carolingian France.Gregorian chant later came to be strongly identified with Rome, especially as musical elements from the north were added to the Roman Rite, such as the Credo in 1014.This was part of a general trend wherein the manuscript tradition in Italy weakened and Rome began to follow northern plainchant traditions.
