Academy - Initiation to Gregorian chant

From 30 October 2023 to 02 November 2023/ France / Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert

Gregorian chant was a complex and learned ornamented chant, requiring a new type of listening, where modal accuracy, prosodic rhythm and vocal dynamics combine in a living vocal gesture. Students in the introductory course will have a concrete experience of this art of medieval cantors. The pieces in the repertoire will introduce them to this vocal gesture as suggested in the first Gregorian manuscripts, and as still practiced in the oral traditions of other cultures (as proposed in the following CIMM course on the Carnatic music of the South India).
The level 2 course welcomes students with the knowledge of level 1, as well as some singing practice.
