AB - The Gallican liturgy and chant formed in 5thcentury and flourished in the kingdom of the Franks for centuries. In the later years of the eighth century,Pepin and his son Charlemagne, the first Carolingians, oppressed the Gallican liturgy and chant proper in other to standardize their liturgy andchant with the Roman liturgy and chant. The Gallican liturgy and chant disappeared before the development of musical notation. For this reason, it’svery difficult to find examples of the original Gallican chant. Improperia, a chant of Good Friday, was derived from the Gallican liturgy and taken over into the Gregorian repertoire. It seems to find some charactersof the Gallican chant proper from Improperia. This chant is composed in two part; 1st part is made up 3 reproaches and the Trisagion, a kind of arefrain, and 2nd part 9 verses and refrains. In the aspect of melody, 3 reproaches show a resemblance for one another,but the Trisagion parts have different melodic lines from reproaches. 9 verses’ melodic structure are based on the psalm tone for mode 1, but they are more prolix than psalm tone’s in regard to having decorated melodies in the mediant and in the termination and using an intonation for the secondpart of a verse, too. In the aspect of text, all the reproaches and all the verses use a syncrisis. Every reproach and every verse compare two events in the Bible; one isevents related the Exodus of the Old Testament and the other is eventsrelated Jesus’ death upon the Cross of the New Testament. The characters of the Gallican chant in Improperia are as follows;‘splendor of festive,’ ‘dramatic elements,’ ‘preference for long prayers,’ and ‘using of non-psalmic centonated texts.’ Furthermore, we can find a trace of the Gallican chant in Improperia from using of the pes stratus, asemiologic sign used in Gallican region.
