Summer Chant Intensive

The Church Music Association of America presents its Summer Chant Intensive June 3–6 Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Now in its sixth year, the CMAA Chant Intensive will cover all aspects of traditional Gregorian notation (square notes). The course will also address Latin pronunciation, the eight church modes, Psalm tones and their applications, the rhythm of plainsong, and more.

The course will be taught by Wilko Brouwers, internationally known composer, conductor, and pedagogue. He is the conductor of the Monte­verdi Chamber Choir Utrecht, the Strijps Kamerkoor, and the Gregorian schola of the Cistercian Abbey De Achelse Kluis in Achel (Belgium). He is director of Ward Centrum Nederland, an institute for music education. He wrote “Words with Wings, Gregorian chant for children in twenty lessons.”
