ChantWorks: Recent Episodes
ChantWorks
ChantWorks is a brilliant new resource to learn the art of sung prayer. Chant is a special form of prayer where the word of God is sung. When sacred scripture is sung, prayer is elevated and imbued with a profound reverence that satisfies the deepest desires of the heart. The experience is transformative for singers and listeners alike. Sung prayer in the form of chant, whether classical Gregorian chant or chant in the vernacular, inspires devotion, evokes gratitude, provides consolation and instills fortitude. This is because the melodies, like the words themselves, were inspired by God for our benefit.
