This article—a “mini-dissertation” on syllabic plainsong—writes songs using the names of various CCW authors.
Including a scanned copy of a rare “Graduale” (Pustet, 1911) released a few minutes ago—for the first time in history!
My humble attempt at singing the Introit for the 3rd Sunday of Advent in accordance with the official rhythm.
The incomparable Andrew Hinkley kindly set it to plainchant notation.
We have posted many articles discussing the French Vs. German way of interpreting syllabic plainsong—which some refer to as “Trochee Trouble.” Needless to say, we encourage everyone to carefully read all those articles. But some folks still don’t understand what “Trochee Trouble” is all about. Therefore, I have created this 1-Page Sheet that explains it […]
Including three (3) professionally-scanned versions of the Kyriale, released here for the 1st time!
