My purpose is to provide a forum where the experience of sacred music can be felt, heard, and participated in by all, regardless of the ability to read music. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE: During this time of relaxed music-making everyone will have the opportunity to learn two sacred songs by the 12th century abbess Hildegard von Bingen. Music is taught by 'call and response' method, repeating phrases until they are learned. Musical scores in the 'Gregorian style' of chant notation will also be provided. Music reading skills are helpful but not necessary. This is an experiential time in which everyone can participate. Even those who believe they have limited range or ability can join in on 'drone' tones to provide harmonic accompaniment. No previous musical skills are necessary. Those present will learn about the historical background of Hildgard's music and have a familiarity with chant notation by the end of the workshop. Norma Gentile is a professional singer and choral conductor who has recorded four CD's of chant by Hildegard von Bingen: Meditation Chants, Healing Chants, Songs of Spirit, and Unfurling Love's Creation Please join me in Ann Arbor on Sunday, October 4,from 4-6pm at Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth, 704 Airport Blvd, Ann Arbor Suggested Donation $25 or $30 online now Workshop Donation donation $25.00 USD donation $30.00 USD cash/check at door or by mail to: Healing Chants PO Box 971020 Ypsilanti, MI 48197
