Discovered this channel by listening to your interview with Father Ripperger. This is the first tutorial that I have attempted. With the exception of the 'Sound of Music' reference, it's all 'greek' to me. My ability to read music is at a barely beginner level. However, I am looking forward (and hopefully being able) to learning, understanding and chanting beautifully in the near future.
Was thinking of getting a youth choir I started for a Christmas concert to sing something from this period , but looking for something pretty simple to start with. Was thinking of "Puer Natus Est"" any other suggestion?
do you have to be a singer or musician to learn this? my wife says i have no rhythm and i would sadly agree. but singing chant at church intrigues me. any chance for me? lol
Thank you for you question. No you don't. All you need is mental capacity to understand basic concepts and the ability to keep pitch (some people are tone deaf). As for the rhythm, that's part of the beauty of gregorian chant. It does not use regular, metered rhythm like other kinds of music, but instead uses what is known as Free Rhythm. This will all be explained when I get to the lessons on rhythm. If you would like for me to get to that sooner, please consider joining us on Patreon for at least $2. Not only will that help keep this academy alive, but you will also have the ability to request what the next lesson will be on.
There will be a C or an F clef to show where Do is. The C does not mean C as in the note C we use now but signifies it in the way Relative pitch is described. That probably sounds confusing, but you can learn more from Jasper’s other videos.

What version of the Ave Maria was used in the beginning intro?

Nice video…wish you had showed what the clef means though. Where is Do indicated on it?

Chant is Diatonic, not Chromatic.....got it, 8 notes not 12. But I think I need to learn more to fill in the blanks. Thanks! 🙂

Send me the song & prayer
For me is easier to understand gregorian notation than pentatonic notation
