What is Ambrosian chant and how does it differ from Gregorian chant?

What is its history?

Does anyone have a sample that I can listen to?

Here's "Ecce quam bonum et jocundum". As you can tell, it's a lot more Eastern sounding:

And here's a vintage picture of the Ambrosian (Milanese) Rite in full swing:

Then again I asked him, "supposing the Pope looked up and saw a cloud and said 'It's going to rain', would that be bound to happen?"
"Oh, yes, Father."
"But supposing it didn't?"
He thought a moment and said, "I suppose it would be sort of raining spiritually, only we were too sinful to see it."

Beautiful! Thanks, Melita. It's more varied than the Gregorian. I got chills listening to it.

The vintage picture is gorgeous too. So is the Ambrosian chant limited to the Ambrosian rite and is this limited to Milan? Do you happen to know what the real story is behind the connection to St. Ambrose?

Is the Pope celebrating this Mass in the picture?

It looks like it is a mass coram papa - "in the presence of the Pope."

This is the second time I have had to take a look at that picture. I knew there was the Ambrosian Rite but I have never seen it, and the picture moves me. It may be the devil but I can hear the Beatles singing "once their was a way to get back home again".
