    We are to have a blessing for the 'awakening ' of our organ in two weeks. Does anyone have a suggestion for a hymn or chant that is simple enough for a general (unauditioned, one part, no harmony) Gregorian chant parish group to learn in two short rehearsals? Something to do with Psalm 150 perhaps?

    If you have a hymn text, I can compose you one in any style and in any key either in modern or GC notation tomorrow.

    Honestly, it’s not Gregorian Chant, but a real beefy and voluptuous organ heavy Arrangement of All Creatures of Our God and King would be an excellent choice. It’s well known, fairly simple as long as they don’t get caught up on the dotted whole note towards the end, and the congregation will probably actually join you.
