Poissy Antiphonal

[mrsbrown]

did you know it's available online? - http://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/MMDB/images/Poissy/FrontFly.htm

After the concerts at the State Library last year, I thought it might be fun to get a group of nuns/women singers together to do some chant -y stuff. Just to stick it up all those people who claim that liturgical chant was only done by men.

More info about the manuscript here - http://calisto.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-51-52/t1-g-t7.html

By the way, I found it becuase I casually checked out the antiphonal section of this site which catalogues digitzed manuscripts online - http://manuscripts.cmrs.ucla.edu/about.php

I will happily join you in singing, but only if you can find a modern transcription. Learning to read manuscript notation is on my list, but it is quite a long way down 8->
