Does performing chant intimidate you?
We all learned about how to "read" chant notation in Music History class but few of us can pick up a Liber Usualis and perform chant with any confidence.
I found these videos yesterday – and I think they help us get over our inhibitions to performing this mostly-untapped repertory. Here is a link to 256 chant videos – a fantastic resource. A commenter on the YouTube site summed it up like this:
This is precisely the tool a new student of Gregorian chant requires: basic repertoire . . . clear vocals synchronized with uncluttered notation. I can't thank you enough for the time and expertise you've put into these tutorials. May God multiply your efforts!
