• Another member of this forum recently mentioned an article from the Winter 2006 edition of Sacred Music magazine. I looked up that issue, and another article caught my attention as I have been thinking of designing something similar here. It was , "The Promise and Pitfalls of the Parish Music Workshop", by Arlene Oost-Zinner and Jeffrey Tucker.

    In that article, as the workshop progressed the many pieces of chant and polyphony used were listed, and as I read, I pulled up each of them on Spotify, and let them play as I read the instructors' explanations. I must say, the whole article came alive in a way I had not expected. :)

    Once again, many thanks to CMAA and its tremendously talented people for making this available.
