We hear these chants during Mass, special times, adoration, and more – Tantum Ergo, Ubi Caritas, Ave Maria, O Salutaris Hostia, and more. The National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette is offering a six-week course in learning chant singing (though no singing experience required). Led by the Music Director of the Shrine, Tim Boisvert, participants will learn the basics of responding in chant during masses, special services, psalms, during adoration, and more. We will then learn some of the most important and well-known chants in the Catholic Church. Participants will also learn some Latin along the way, as well as syllabic stress and rhythm techniques to help improve all singing – not just chanting. Lent is a great time for reflection and prayer, and learning chants and how to chant adds a positive new way to do both! Practice recordings between sessions will be made available online for participants, as well as instructional materials.
