Learn to perform Gregorian chant from 1200-year-old manuscripts!
In this workshop, we will explore some of the oldest manuscripts containing chant notation and use them to inform a highly nuanced performance of this remarkable music. There is a unique thrill that accompanies looking at a 1200-year-old manuscript and translating it into sound. And this won’t be a purely academic exercise—we will sing the results of our explorations together!
This workshop will focus on the historical musical content of chant instead of the theological, so all faith backgrounds are welcomed. In addition, no ability to read modern musical notation is required for this workshop, and we welcome singers of all abilities and experiences. If you can talk, you can sing. Come sing with us!
