    As someone who knows nothing about chant but would like to begin moving away for four songs every Sunday and move to using the chants, what advice do you have? What is the most basic antiphonal chant that someone can use at a parish? If the people have never heard Latin or chant, or read Gregorian chant, what is someone's recommendation for the first place to start? Which chants do you recommend?

    The weapon you want on that page is called the "Lalemant Propers." They're simple English psalm-tone propers. You can't get any more basic than that.
