Thank you for the tutorial! I am a clasical pianist, but I have just been asked by a priest to accompany on the organs on the Tridentine Mass, so I better start learning :)
Greetings and thanks from a fellow Gregorian chanter! - and regarding an important "et" in the liturgy - you probably remember that emphatic "et" in the gradual of the Feast of Christ the King...simply amazing!
Thank you so much for this great work you're putting up for the Lord. Could you please make a video on how to accompany Litaniae Sanctorum ( Latin version)
Do you ever find the 8’ flute and string to be muddy? I’ve always been taught to avoid strings and flutes together. Especially for congregational singing.
No. I tend to deviate from the “index card of allowable opinion” with registration. Sure, strings and flutes are a bad combo in baroque literature. But when accompanying chant, it cuts through with the fundamental a bit without overpowering like a lot of principals. Of course it depends on the instrument. But I say: learn the rules and conventions, then break them for any good reason you like!
@@PatrickTorsell haha! I love that! I’ve always been taught that it was a hard NO for congregational singing, but it sounds so lovely with chant! Thank you for the response.
The chants themselves can all be found in the Liber Usualis, downloadable at www.sanctamissa.org/en/music/gregorian-chant/choir/liber-usualis-1961.html
Hi patrick- is there a way to contact you. I’m wondering if you can help me. I’m very novice and simply use the modern notation but want to expand to accompany some chant. Love to kniw where to start?
If I'm playing the melody line with the accompaniment, I would generally avoid repeating/repercussing repeated notes. Holding the note provides the pitch without the jarring sensation of repeating it on the organ. Remember that organ accompaniment should always be there to support the singing, not to overpower or replace it!
Hello I really appreciate for your help but I have serveral cuestions, I would like to know if you have any email address or a facebook account to talk about it :D and your keyboard is amazing how you did it, thank you I hope your answer thank you so much.
if you are learning to play in any key, than you can learn to do it from notation and transpose it. that is what you are doing anyway reading from a neumatic score. the notation has nothing to do with it.

Another great tutorial, thanks! Your videos are really helpful. Please don't stop.
Awesome! It is rare to find such explanation about organ in gregorian chant!

Can i see the rhymic pattern
If there are repeated notes on soprano line, should we play each one of theme or just hold the first note until it change to another one?

@@PatrickTorsell God bless you guy. Thank alot for your great advice.
Is there an app that converts Gregorian notation to modern notation? An app that doesn’t use a measure

Hi Patrick. Do you use pedal for accompaning?
With a large group, yes. With a small schola, no. It does help for congregational accompaniment to provide that bass foundation.
@@PatrickTorsell thank for your reply.
Can you give me some book title about Accompany Gregorian Chant.
