Chant Mode and Psalm Tone Extravaganza
with Susan Hellauer of  Anonymous 4

Participants will learn to sing and recognize the medieval plainchant modes BY EAR, and then learn and sing each of the 9 psalm tones. While learning the theory, participants will also learn to create a shapely, word-directed musical line.

This session is for both professional and amateur singers who want to know more about the nuts and bolts of western plainchant, from medieval sources. There will be lots of singing!   -- and all materials, including binder and pencil, will be provided. Some singing experience and sight reading is helpful -- but not really necessary; if you love chant and can carry a tune -- feel free to join in.

Limited to 30 participants.

Weekend Chant Camp
with Susan Hellauer of Anonymous 4
A (Music) Room of One's Own:
The Sound-World
of Hildegard von Bingen

Learn & sing the ecstatic chants of the legendary 12th-century German abbess, AND learn & sing the music that she herself knew -- the music that was the sonic foundation of her own compositions. Participants will learn how to approach Hildegard's unique style in order to create a shapely, word-directed musical line.

We'll reconstruct a musical "day" at Hildegard's abbey, culminating in a performance on Saturday night. In Sunday morning's sessions we'll learn to sing Hildegard's music from original notation.

Registration details will be forthcoming.
