CHANT AND THE ORIGINS OF POLYPHONY - Patrick Craig

The Old Testament book of Psalms is full of exhortations to worship God through song. But for the majority of history, music has been shared without it ever being written down. Patrick will trace the origins of chant, the birth of polyphony and the invention of notation. He will feature some of the most imaginative and spectacular pieces of music that are based on a foundation of Gregorian chant. He will also reflect on his recent experience of leading his all-female professional choir Aurora Nova through a full 24-hour marathon of chant, recreating the monastic services of the Divine Office.
