Editing Pope Gregory I (section)

===Liturgical reforms===
John the Deacon wrote that Pope Gregory I made a general revision of the liturgy of the [[Pre-Tridentine Mass]], "removing many things, changing a few, adding some". In his own letters, Gregory remarks that he moved the ''[[Pater Noster]]'' (Our Father) to immediately after the [[Roman Canon]] and immediately before the [[Fraction (religion)|Fraction]].{{sfn|Eden|2004|p=487}} This position is still maintained today in the Roman Liturgy. The pre-Gregorian position is evident in the [[Ambrosian Rite]]. Gregory added material to the ''[[Roman Canon#Hanc Igitur|Hanc Igitur]]'' of the Roman Canon and established the nine ''[[Kyrie]]s'' (a vestigial remnant of the [[litany]] which was originally at that place) at the beginning of [[Mass (Catholic Church)|Mass]]. He forbade deacons to perform any of the musical portions of the Mass other than singing the Gospel.{{sfn|Huddleston|1909}}

[[Sacramentary|Sacramentaries]] directly influenced by Gregorian reforms are referred to as ''Sacrementaria Gregoriana''. Roman and other [[Latin liturgical rites|Western liturgies]] since this era have a number of prayers that change to reflect the feast or liturgical season; these variations are visible in the [[collect]]s and [[Preface (liturgy)|preface]]s as well as in the Roman Canon itself.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09296a.htm Fortescue, Adrian.

====Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts====
In the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] and [[Eastern Catholic Churches]], Gregory is credited as the primary influence in constructing the more penitential [[Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts]], a fully separate form of the [[Divine Liturgy]] in the [[Byzantine Rite]] adapted to the needs of the season of [[Great Lent]]. Its [[Roman Rite]] equivalent is the [[Mass of the Presanctified]] used only on [[Good Friday]]. The [[Syriac Christianity|Syriac]] Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts continues to be used in the [[Malankara Rite]], a variant of the [[West Syrian Rite]] historically practiced in the [[Malankara Church]] of [[India]], and now practiced by the several churches that descended from it and at some occasions in the [[Assyrian Church of the East]].{{sfn|Chupungco|1997|p=17}}

The mainstream form of Western [[plainchant]], standardized in the late 9th century,{{sfn|Levy|1998|p=7}} was attributed to Pope Gregory I and so took the name of Gregorian chant. The earliest such attribution is in John the Deacon's 873 biography of Gregory, almost three centuries after the pope's death, and the chant that bears his name "is the result of the fusion of Roman and Frankish elements which took place in the Franco-German empire under [[Pepin the Short|Pepin]], [[Charlemagne]] and their successors".{{sfn|Murray|1963|pp=3-4}}
