Today is part 2 of a discussion on chant, featuring my conversations with Brother John Glasenapp. Brother John is a Benedictine monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in southern Indiana, where he currently serves as the Director of the newly-formed Saint Meinrad Institute for Sacred Music. Br. John earned an M.A. in Medieval Studies from Fordham University and a PhD in Historical Musicology from Columbia University, specializing in chant. Last week we explored the deep historical context of chant. But how do we apply chant to our modern, mostly American churches? How can we adapt chant to our needs?
Brother John joins me from the archabbey in Saint Meinrad, Indiana.
