    Ya, but how do we learn Gregorian Chant? Wasn’t that the essence of the title? This should title ‘How to find your key for Gregorian chant. Or, How to stay in key etc.’

      I understand fully. I studied at the Royal Schools of Music in London, the London College of Music and the Lancashire School of Music. My study was focused more on Theory than practice although I play the pianoforte and Pipe Organ. Music is no that difficult to learn. One needs patience. I started when I was 7 years old. it is important the one has the Gift of Music. NBot everybody has this Gift. I believe that God gives this Gift for a purpose. For the last 55 years I played in three major churches here in Malta (Europe). To be a musician takes about seven years depending on your instrument. Keyboard instruments are the most difficult.

    In Indonesia, we use numbers for music sheet. We are familiar with this type of tonic So on the top of the page, we write 1 = D, that means the tonic is D and we write " 1 2 3 4 5...but we sing (solfege) : do re me fa sol.

    I like to run through the Gloria Patri of the same mode as the chant I want to learn. Puts my brain, ear, and throat on the same page.I find it especially true of deciphering Introits.

    Good advice about the tools you use, but what I REALLY need to know is reading the written forms. I'm a cantor at my church and I've had to pull a piece of music out to sight read (I hate it when that happens!) & it will be a chant written with the different characters. Some I have figured out just by listening, but I get hung up at times - especially when trying to read it for the first time or two & not being familiar with the melody. Any tips??

    Where in the Liber Usualis (or elsewhere) do you find the tones/chants that corresponds to the text in the Breviary? I have the Roman Breviary and the Liber Usualis but I don’t know how to put the two together in order to properly chant the words of the Breviary for any given ferial day, feast day or canonical hour.

    Let's go back to the time before there were no pianos, and chant with voice only, no instruments. Piano or even Organ...is quite distracting....just my opinion. Why? Musicians all too often play piano or organ too loud, drowning the Chanting/singing.

    • @carolusaugustussanctorum
      @carolusaugustussanctorum ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's why pope St. Pius X in one of his motu proprios defined that the only instrument used in liturgy must be the organ and even so: secondary to the chant, never overcoming it.
