Teaching Chant in a Space for Chant

NLM reports on St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, New York.

Fr. Brian T. Austin conducted a chant workshop there in February at the invitation of Miss Lynn Wilson and with the support of Br. Joshua.

As a result, a chant choir has grown up that is already singing all the propers of the Mass, and in a space very conducive for liturgical music.

Here we have a demonstration of how central education is to the liturgical experience. No workshop goes to waste. Every effort to teach yields fruit at some point.

  1. Fr. Austin is a great asset here in Sarasota. Although it's short notice, there is a workshop planned here at Christ the King (Sarsota) with Ed Schaefer on July 22-24 that is open to all musicians, directors etc. The cost is $50 for the sessions, but anyone attending has to arrange for their own food, lodging, etc…

    I will have a more detailed post at http://www.authenticupdate.blogspot.com sometime today or early tomorrow.
