and a delight for the rest of us. It's the Musical Breviary Blog! This is a wonerful project, all managed by one guy with a good voice. Subscribe to Musical Breviary, and any day you want to hear the day's office being chanted, the link (Morning and Evening Prayer only) will appear in your mailbox.
From what I've sampled so far, bloggger/singer Theodore Forrence uses pretty simple chant tones, so it's easy to follow along once you've listened to a few verses. For copyright reasons, the version of the psalms used is a public domain version, but all the other texts are straight out of the breviary. The hymns are the traditional Roman hymns--these are often one of the choices on ibreviary, and we are supposed to get these as the default hymns when the new English breviary comes out in....some years from now.
Check it out.
And welcome, new blog followers, Mark and Tara.
