Following the successful three-day chant course with Nick Gale of last spring, we have organised another for April 9th to 11th (Low Sunday).As before it will take place in conjuction with the St Catherine's Trust Family Retreat; this year the venue will be the Oratory School, Oxfordshire, which is between Reading and Oxford.
Nick Gale is the Director of Music at St George's Cathedral in Southwark, and trained under Dom Daniel Saulnier in the chant at Solesmes. This year he will be assited by Mr Mark Johnson to enable the singers to be divided into different groups to suit all levels of experience.
The feedback from last year's course, which included an introduction to semiology through the Graduale Triplex, was enthusiastic: it gave the participants, few of whom had ever encountered the Graduale Triplex before, a fascinating and very practical new perspective on the Chant. This course, in its length and scope, is unique in the UK and should not be missed by anyone interested in singing Gregorian Chant.
It is also a very good deal at £80 per person (payable to the St Catherine's Trust). All are welcome.
