Gregorian Chant Study Week in Solesmes, France


This summer the Ave Maria University Department of Sacred Music will host
its third annual Advanced Gregorian Chant study week at the Abbaye
Saint-Pierre in Solesmes, France. For the week of July 3-7, 2006, attendees
will take part in weekday classes on the performance and history of
Gregorian chant taught by Dom Daniel Saulnier, Director of Paleography at
the abbey and also faculty member of the Pontifical Institute of Sacred
Music. Participants will also be able to hear the chant in liturgical
settings each day as the monks chant the offices of the Liturgy of the Hours
as well as celebrate daily Mass at the abbey.

Tuition for the week is $250 and the class is open to those with some
knowledge of Gregorian chant, especially those who are using chant in
Catholic liturgies or who wish to do so. Attendees are responsible for
making their own arrangements regarding travel and accommodations.
Accommodations are available through the abbey as well as at the local hotel
across the street.
