Research tells us that Gregorian Chant might have once been sung with rhythms and expression much as pop singers use today. Here we explore this concept, which gives a fresh immediacy to this music of our ancient heritage. Who ever expected to find trumpet calls in Gregorian chant? They are here, in this chant, along with big-sky, big-space sound effects. This piece should be sung with exuberance.
Offertory: Feast of the Ascension; cf Graduale Triplex 256. Text: Psalm 47.
