Yes.

Gregorian Chant is the name for all the unison monodic chant to Latin text sung for the Roman or Gregorian rite.

What is the name of the chant used for the ordinary in a Misa Cantata?

An example of the chant I mean: youtube.com/watch?v=QgUW1H-8SNU

Is it simply called Gregorian chant?

I hope you read this Madaglan. The opening hymn was Our Lady of Fatima played at a far more sedate tempo than it was originally composed. (It’s late ragtime from the 20’s and is far more up-tempo than is being played in the video.)

The opening chant is the Asperges. I would disagree with the good bishop. I would call it plainsong - again at a more sedate tempo than I am used to singing.

For me, Gregorian chant is from the Liber Usualis

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liber_Usualis

which is not what we sang when I was a kid before Vatican II.

Plainsong “flows” a bit more than chant.

I would call the above Gregorian chant.

This is pretty much what I heard on Sunday as a kid. It “flows”.

It’s a subtle distinction, I know. But if you watch the above video the schola goes into Gregorian Chant mode at about the 5 minute mark.
