Two seminars on singing Gregorian chant will be offered during August 2008 at Saint Meinrad by Fr. Columba Kelly, OSB.
The seminar, "Bringing to Life the Word of God in Song," will be offered in a beginner session on August 4-8, 2008, and in an advanced session on August 11-15, 2008.
Learn how the practice of Gregorian chant brings to life the Word of God in song, and study the intimate relationship between the proclaimed Word of God and its melodic setting
The workshop includes study of the original chant notations as the key to unlocking the spiritual and artistic qualities that have influenced later Western music. Practice singing both Latin and English settings in chant style will be included.
Please contact me if you have would like to make reservations.

Sorry about the Word files, folks, I don't know what happened with them. They are perfectly readable on my machine, but got mangled somehow when attached to the posting! If anybody knows how to fix that, let me know.
