The Plainchant Music Forum
is a group of people, mainly monks and nuns, who are
closely and actively involved in the singing of plainchant
and the appreciation of its contribution, both musically
and spiritually, to the Liturgy. It was formed to promote
a love of the chant, in the light of the modern understanding
of the manuscripts represented in the new editions
of the music published by the abbey of Solesmes. Seventeen
participants gathered here to sing and to study Plainchant
from the 11th to 14th May.
In addition to their participation
in our Office and Mass, Dom Xavier Perrin, Prior of
Sainte-Anne de Kergonan in Brittany, gave a number
of talks on the use of St Paul in the chants of the
Gradual, looking carefully at the musical interpretation
of the spirituality of those texts.
