For
modern listeners,
the sounds of Gregorian chant are compelling, with words and rhythms
that
seem at once familiar and remote. Even without a musical background or
knowledge of the religious significance of Gregorian chant, listeners
respond
to its unique qualities and sensuous tranquility. Richard L. Crocker, a
world-renowned authority on chant, offers in this book and its
accompanying
compact disc an eloquent introduction to the history and meaning of the
Gregorian chant. He explains how Gregorian chant began, what functions
and meanings it had over time, who heard it and where, and how it was
composed,
learned, written down and handed on. His guided tour of the Gregorian
chant
provides for any student, performer or interested listener a richer
understanding
of this enduringly powerful music.
