Do Church choirs date back to Greco-Roman times? Was the singing

Why the hell do we get threads wikipedia can answer in 5 minutes everyday?

Plainsong developed during the earliest centuries of Christianity, influenced possibly by the music of the Jewish synagogue and certainly by the Greek modal system. It has its own system of notation, employing a staff of four lines instead of five.

The chant that is now called "Old Roman" comes primarily from a small number of sources, including three graduals and two antiphoners from between 1071 and 1250. Although these are newer than many notated sources from other chant traditions, this chant is called "Old Roman" because it is believed to reflect a Roman oral tradition going back several centuries.

There are several theories concerning the origins of Gregorian and Old Roman chants, but one prominent hypothesis, supported by Apel and Snow, posits that both chant traditions derive from a common Roman ancestor in use circa 750 AD. In order to consolidate ecclesiastical power and strengthen their political ties to the power of the Roman church, the Franks, especially under the Carolingian rulers Pepin and Charlemagne, brought this older Roman chant north. There it was subsequently modified, influenced by local styles and Gallican chant, and categorized into the system of eight modes. This Carolingian, or Frankish-Roman, chant, became known as "Gregorian." In the meantime, the local chant remaining in Rome gradually evolved into the form in which it was eventually notated, at the same time that Gregorian was supplanting it in Rome.

What's so difficult to understand here.

Nothing but Charlemagne and stuff from the 7th century. The small tidbit about ancient Israel is barely anything and doesn't nearly answer the question.

Are you simple Anon? He explicitly says it "developed during the earliest centuries of Christianity", i.e. during Antiquity.

None of this shit sprung out of a vacuum.

Just arrived in this thread but I can already see that you're an insufferable and stupid dumbass and not even worth responding to. Make your own research.
