Dear Friends,
-
----first of all, we have discovered a "bug" on Firefox. Please READ THIS
-
I would like to invite you to visit: JoguesChant.org
You can learn a lot about it by visiting: the "About" page
Basically, this page is where you can send your singers if you want them to PRACTICE before rehearsal. The scores are all formatted to fit one page, so they can print them off, if need be. Or, if they are at work, school, or home, they can go to the site and practice in their free time. The calendar "shifts" so the Sunday that's coming up is ALWAYS on top.
Everything on this site is given completely free of charge (à la Jeffrey Tucker!).
Let me add a few things that are not in the "About" page:
(1) I am really hoping that some of you will contribute Mp3 files. That would be awesome! Chabanel Psalms had humble beginnings, but thanks to your contributions, it has grown into something great over just one year. I hope the same for this site.
(2) The ones provided by musicasacra.com are out of this world beautiful, despite the LP record needle. The other ones are provided by me.
(3) Some of mine are good. Some are ... not all that great. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I recorded them in the Cathedral I work for. When you go in there, you just have to ... just sing, no matter what vocal condition you happen to be in at the moment! Again, the idea was to provide practice Mp3's. If I am flat on some of them, perhaps you can provide better recordings? I hope you will contribute! Believe me: there are many people who do not know how to read chant, but want to learn how to read chant. This is what this site is all about.
(4) Towards the bottom of the "About" page, you will see instructions for how to view up to three years' worth at a time. If you do this, you will see that the project is 90% complete.
[Watershed thanks MusicaSacra.com for its collaboration with this project. In particular, we thank Jeffrey Tucker for his generous assistance.]
St. Isaac Jogues, pray for us!
