Chant Made Simple
Professor of Music Emeritus at California State Univ., Los Angeles, Fowells has written a superb brief guide to the singing, understanding, and interpretation of some of the most ancient music of the Christian church. Fowells!s text provides an easily understood guide to the musical and esoteric meanings of the ancient cantillations, as well as 21 chants in notation, with a syllabized copy of the Latin texts. Protestant himself, Fowells seeks to make the chants available to Protestant and Catholic churches, private worshippers, musicians, and choral directors. Highly recommended.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
