Description
Join the CANTUS Database in learning and singing music from the Office of Vespers for Pentecost. Participants will view the chants on images of medieval manuscripts shown on-screen and in handouts. Instruction on the interpretation of the neumes will precede the singing of the chants together. The ability to read music is helpful but not necessary. This session is also open to those who would like to just watch and listen. (Debra Lacoste)
