Pardon me, please, while I type too much. She gave the best explaination for why Gregorian chant is demonstrably best, the balance and ordering of the three primary elements of music. The link between cathedral reverb and harmony is amazing. I'm reminded of when my daughters took piano lessons at a choir college. One of their teachers sang in a choir there. They had a guest director come in. At his first meeting with that choir he apologized to them and asked them to indulge him as he had each section sing different notes, and apparently he "fine tuned" the notes they sang to create sympathetic vibrations of new notes. As the effect coming to fruition, my daughter's teacher said the whole choulir felt electrified. Once they finished, he explained he had never worker in a room that could support that kind of thing so, when he got the chance there, he had to try it. More to the ordering of harmony and melody and Gergorian chant's singular role in western music: because of the Church's need for singers, and apparanetly an excess of orphans, the Church over time developed a training system of sight-singing and the repetition of stock melodic patterns (solfeggio), the system of figured bass, partimenti, instrument training for some students, and counterpoint. This system, as I understand it, trained musicians like Hadyn & Mozart (and all others up to & before). The attack on the Church apparently weakened it. Then, the emerging middle class' desire to know "about" things and to learn about then in universities created a niche for what is the modern way of teaching harmony (roman numeral chords, harmony before counterpoint, and any intimate knowledge of melody left to be experienced through singing and instrument lessons). The partimenti system was lost but is now being rediscovered. A great person to talk about this would be Nihil Hogan (who is also a "sede" (ie he sees what's pretty clear)).
What a great part one, and I cannot wait for subsequent parts. I have a special request of your guest. Could you please ask her to qualify why the Novus Ordo music (ex. Gather Hymnal) is so objectively bad as far as music is concerned?
I really enjoyed this interview... lots of great information! Eagerly looking forward to part two!
Thank you for having Eliza on to speak about music. Looking forward to part 2.

Totally agree on the power of music, I got my degree in Music Therapy and saw firsthand how music moves people physically and mentally.
EXCELLENT episode, more like this please.
Gregorian chant was one of the only things I can play to calm my daughter down in the car! Loved listening and learning to this one!
Wow her voice is spectacular. I was definitely not blessed with that particular talent unfortunately.
Wow this was so great to watch 👏🏼
What a great part one, and I cannot wait for subsequent parts.

Thank you.
This was awesome. Thank you.
Brigid Mae Power makes serene folk music.
