In this day-long workshop we will learn and sing some of the most beautiful chants in the repertory of Gregorian Chant, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and based around the context of a Sung Mass. We will immerse ourselves in the sound, technique and language of this ancient musical style, working toward an authentic and beautiful performance at the end of the day. We will also discover the links between Chant and Polyphony.
The music we will study in the workshop will include:
- Mass IX (Cum Iubilo)
- The Propers of the BVM
- Marian Processionals
- Gregorian Hymnody
- Marian Polyphonic Motets

Thanks for plucking this out of the ether! I was thinking about going to the workshop in Wakefield, but going to one in the diocese would seem to make more sense. One might be able to connect up with like-minded souls for a bit of, er, constructive engagement about liturgical issues in the diocese...
I'm committed to both! I do suspect though, that the workshop at North Ormesby will be - how can I put this diplomatically - 'more relaxed' I think, and there will be more opportunity to discuss those liturgical issues!
