Gregorio is getting some attention this week at the 2012 Sacred Music Colloquium, the annual event sponsored by the Church Music Association of America. The week-long practicum on sacred music is underway at the Madeleine Choir School and the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City.
Choir director Aristotle Esguerra presented an instructional beginners' class on using Gregorio through the web, by means of Adam Bartlett's web service at illuminarepublications.com. Also, a new book of responsorial psalms in English, engraved with Gregorio, went on sale at the Colloquium. "Parish Book of Psalms" by Arlene Oost-Zinner is a complete collection of over 200 psalm settings for the Sunday Mass, the Paschal Triduum, and major solemnities, according to the Lectionary in use in the U.S. The book contains Oost-Zinner's original antiphons in plainchant style, with psalm verses set to Gregorian tones. Ben Yanke and I produced the necessary gabc files and processed them to make the book's 450 pages. A colophon page in the back of the book credits Gregorio, with a special tip of the hat to developer Élie Roux. --RC _______________________________________________ Gregorio-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
