During my extremely unprofessional explorations of #GregorianChant, I learned a new word: #melisma.
> In singing, the term melisma refers to a passage of music that has a group of notes that are sung with just one syllable of text. This is the opposite of syllabic singing, which is singing one note per syllable.
