    Are you interested in learning how to sing plainchant music?

    Plainchant music, sometimes known as Gregorian chant, has been a much loved form of liturgical music across centuries. The beautifully haunting melodies and the freely flowing rhythms of plainchant are uplifting and help to create a space for prayerful meditation.

    St Mary Magdalene’s Anglican Church, Adelaide is hosting a series of three workshops in plainchant.

    The workshops, led by Richard Black, Music Director at St Columba’s church Hawthorn, will introduce you to:

    • The history of plainchant in liturgical music
    • How to read and interpret plainchant notation
    • Contemporary uses of plainchant
    • How to sing plainchant

    The final workshop will culminate in a Compline service, in which participants will sing some of the plainchant learned over the course of the three workshops.
