Aside from its position in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church, that is the priority to liturgical singing, Gregorian chant ranks high in the musical culture of Western Europe. This was, among other things, due to the strong impact of the Gregorian vocal repertoire on the music literature, with particular emphasis on organ literature. Starting from the fifteenth century, a significant number of composers were inspired in their artistic work by Gregorian chant, mainly by popular syllabic forms. The Benedictine monasteries resound with Gregorian chant and the place of the missing songs is filled with organ music. Dom Paul Benoit (1893-1979) of the Luxembourg abbey in Clervaux, inspired by Alleluia modus IV (modal pattern), composed the prelude Au Cénacle, Ascension - Pentecôte. His harmonic accompaniment grouping of the cited melody corresponds to the melismatic grouping of Alleluia. In this case, we can speak not only about the citing of the Georgian melody but also about the rhythmic inspiration in the organ music.
