Earlier this year, my mother found out we desperately needed funds and were planning to run a fundraiser…

A few days ago, Dominique Gatté released something quite extraordinary.

Including rehearsal videos.
I would argue we must renew our good resolution and stand firm.

Including three separate points on Dom Combe’s shameful and defamatory statement.

An English translation of “Veni Creator Spiritus.”

Where “Parce Dómine” (the famous song for Lent) came from.

I demonstrate how the “Kyrie Eleison” can be adapted for use in the Extraordinary Form.

Is it fair to forever bind Dom Guéranger to what he wrote about “barbarous archaisms” in 1855?

This is very much a “work in progress”…

My husband tells me this edition (by Dom Pothier’s student) is of monumental importance. I take him at his word.
He screamed into the telephone: “There’s no such thing as Gregorian Chant!”
