From Wikipedia
Celtic chant is the liturgical plainchant repertory of the Celtic rite of the Catholic Church performed in Celtic Britain, Gaelic Ireland, and Brittany. It is related to, but distinct from the Gregorian chant of the Sarum use of the Roman rite which officially supplanted it by the 12th century. Although no Celtic chant was notated, some traces of its musical style are believed to remain.
