Don't just listen...PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gregorian Chant is the prayer of the Church. Ora et Labora and I are in the choir at our parish. We sing Gregorian Chant half of the year and the other half is a 'low' mass.

My point is, if you like it and hope that it continues then go and find it and join you voice to the voice of the Church.

I'm a member of a Gregorian schola, and an indult choir that does Gregorian and Rossini. It's the most awesome music ever... and some of the oldest. It's definitely 100% better than Marty Haugen.

That's great, but always remember that Chant is first and foremost prayer, not entertainment.

You don't need a well trained or polished voice to pray chant.

God bless.

I bought one on itunes called Gergorian Chant: Salve Regina. I bought the whole CD ($9.99 for something like 17 songs.. well worth it)

I found this [url="http://www.preces-latinae.org/index.htm"]Chant Website[/url] that has most the words of the prayers in both latin and english. Its good to kneel down in front of the computer (a bit strange at first) then sing along and follow the words on the website. Though with my voice, I make sure my roommate is gone first :ninja:

edit: BTW my favorite so far is the Te Deum! its awesome!
