I love them. I also love any medieval music which I have a lot of. <strong><em>Ah, I see we have something in common.</em></strong> Like you I am an agnostic. My daughter and her father and I had this conversation yesterday. Everything you just said in this blog we discussed. Especially the politics during the time of Jesus. I am very spiritual but not religious. I have to admit the Easter bunny showed up at our house and we all got Easter baskets. Talk about taking the religion out of Easter. <strong><em>Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with the Easter Bunny per se. I simply have a problem when the way the spiritual significance of Christmas and Easter have been overshadowed by the commercial aspect. I like chocolate bunnies as much as the next guy. ;) I have a couple of Gregorian chant CDs. I love them. I also love any medieval music which I have a lot of.

From five to twelve years I was a boy soprano and our church choir traveled to big churches to do traditional gregorian chant. After my voice changed, I did not perfom again until I was sixteen and my voice had developed into a deep bass. The chants took on a whole new aspect when I was singing on the other side of the choir. What you said about the written works being tenth century is on the mark. Most of what we hear today though is composed after the sixteenth century. Anything composed after the renaissance is too messed up and just does not do what the traditional does. I have seen the spirit of God gather like a great chalice and pour over the chapel and all the congregants when the chant reached certain accidentals. I have seen the stone and wood ring like a bell. I have had my faith in God cemented into the witness of God's Power and Mercy. I am glad you posted this. <strong><em>I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also enjoy the religious music of the Renaissance, with Thomas Tallis, Josquin des Prez, John Dunstable, and Guillaume Dufay being among my favorites.

I think it's easier to explain away things than to explain things which seem unexplainable. But maybe the true things stand the test of time. Gregorian chants. I'll have to give them a try... <strong><em>I hope you do. You're in for an amazing experience.</em></strong> Enjoyed this post, Smith.
