VERY NIGHT at the Sacred Music Symposium, participants sing Solemn Vespers. You might guess that they would struggle with the Latin, but somehow it always works out perfectly. Sometimes the psalms are accompanied by the organ—adding wonderful variety to the ceremonies. Do you hear the haunting “counter-melody” added by the organist to several verses?
The chanting of the Psalms probably could have been done slightly faster—but we must remember that many participants were singing Vespers for the very first time!
The most incredible Vespers booklet of all time was created by Albert Bloomfield and can be downloaded or purchased on Amazon.
Folks, that is an incredible Vespers book!!!!
