Lenten Music through the Ages, Part 1: Praying With One Voice: Gregorian Chant

Episode Topic:  Praying With One Voice, Gregorian ChantWe’ll start our learning journey through Lenten music with Gregorian Chant — this is the earliest music of the Church. We don’t really know exactly what this music sounded like, but we know that song was a part of culture. What we have now are fossils, the remains of a musical culture. In reality, music develops through practice, by people who are trained in a discipline and develop music for specific events.Featured Speakers: J.J.
