    Hello brethren!

    I am Jeff from local schola cantorum in Bandung, Indonesia.

    when feast of holy family in FE mass, we tried singing variation from Kyrie IV .
    Because long holiday and lack of practice, we only practice this once, thus when we sung, sometimes a bit out of tunes.
    We always use electronic chapel organ to accompanied us sung Gregorian chant. But this time we tried a cappella

    this is our poor recording .

    Thank you !

    Very well done! It sounds like monks singing in a medieval chapel. I love it.

    Very nice... I loved the start with a drone on the second Kyrie... (I think that is how I heard it).

    Yes, in the second Kyrie, we using Drone , then in the third we using parallel organum . One of singer unprepared to sing above the cantus firmus, maybe next time :)

    In Indonesia, most of us communicate using Facebook . So we know how to call someone depend on age or status, since its not anonymous.
    But when in the forum , we using only nickname.
    Nope, we dont have that cartoon :D

    Mas Richard Mix :D , because Javanese is the most populous, that call is very popular .
    It is unique, because Mas come from word Emas , mean Gold.

    In formal Indonesian language, we use 'Kak' , but nobody use it , hahahaha"
