Perhaps this upcoming workshop in NYC, would be of interest to all you Sacred Artists (or artists who appreciate the Sacred) out there?! If you're in or around the area, I have no doubt it will be edifyingly beautiful!
------
A Chant workshop will be held September 7 and 8, 2012, hosted by The Church of St. Catherine of Siena, NYC.
Scott Turkington, choirmaster of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist (Charleston, SC) will lead the master workshop. Details to follow as to time, cost and place.
The music education will focus on the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Mass. This intensive tutorial in Western Plainsong or Gregorian Chant, will offer a brief history of chant, the medieval notational system, a thorough learning of the dozen most commonly used neumes, "top 40" chants, chant resources, a discussion of ways in which chant might be employed in a parish setting, interpretation of controversial neumes, and the form and structure of the eight Gregorian modes. The student will sing a great deal during the workshop. The text (supplied) will be the Parish Book of Chant.
Please mark your calendars.
