#SURVEY
#DCU, #MTU, #TCD are carrying out an exploratory study on attitudes of #Irish #choirs, in all contexts, to #plainchant as a historical and #liturgical repertory; to examine the relevance of plainchant and its uses by #amateur choirs in an Irish context, and seeks to establish whether engagement might be enhanced through access to workshops and digital resources.

Exploring attitudes to learning and performing chant in Irish choral educational contexts.

The following questionnaire seeks to examine current attitudes to plainchant among Irish choral singers and directors of all ages and musical ability, and to investigate whether an interest in chant may be facilitated by greater access to online resources and both online and face-to-face training opportunities. There will be an optional focus group held to explore themes arising from questionnaire responses in due course (you can register your interest in response to question 9). This survey is part of a study being carried out by Dr Rhoda Dullea, MTU Cork School of Music, Dr Giovanna Feeley, School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music, DCU, and Dr Ann Buckley, Medieval History Research Centre, TCD. Please note that participation in any aspect of this study is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time without penalty. Throughout the survey your privacy will be protected and your participation will remain confidential. By completing the questionnaire, you indicate that your participation is voluntary. The questionnaire should take less than 10 minutes of your time. If you have questions about the survey or broader study, or wish to exercise your right to withdraw any aspect of your responses, please contact the administrator, Rhoda Dullea, at [email protected].

🙏 @sapiens Such interesting questions from this project!
"Do you own a chant fragment or do you know someone who does? What do you know about its history and travels?"

Today is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some reformed communities continued to celebrate the feast after the Reformation; here’s the Alleluia Assumpta est Maria!

I am a bit wary of posting #lookwhatiamdoingtoday toots here (to counter that habit at Twitter)... But today is such a nice combo of studying #plainchant and preparing for a CCO rehearsal...🤫😉

You hear "#genome" and you think...
... #melody? as in, #music?
Yes.
The Genome Of Melody project by Jan Hajic and Klára Mühlová applies #bioinformatics methods to the evolution of plainchant and sacred song (and are looking for a consultant - check below).
In #medieval Europe, #plainchant was everywhere - and it was supposed to be the same everywhere. That obviously didn't work, but what was really going on - what were the patterns and mechanisms of change?
