Gregorian Chant Day at Portsmouth, 12 June


This was the first event run by Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge I have attended since the death of the founder, Dr Mary Berry. It was well worth while. I learnt some new things and the day concluded with a performance of Vespers in the Catholic Cathedral.

I had forgotten how impressive and numinous the Office could be. I am sure there would be many conversions if we made the effort and reinstated the traditional Latin Liturgy. Is is extremely powerful, bringing man to God like almost nothing else can.
