Yesterday was the first day of the CMAA’s third annual Summer Chant Intensive with instructor Scott Turkington. Participants come from all over the country and from as far away as Australia. This year’s venue is Duquesne University in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

It didn’t take long for the class to live up to its name. An added bonus this year is the option of two hours of graduate credit in sacred music extended to eligible participants. Graduate credit will also be offered to qualifying students at next week’s Sacred Music Colloquium XX. Find out more about these and other annual CMAA events.

The course will wrap up on Friday with an OF Mass, Latin, with fully sung propers and ordinary in the Church of the Epiphany.
