I see you have Saints Shall Arise bookmarked which will help you learn the basics of navigating it but if you want to learn to sing it I suggest following along each day with the monks of Norcia and or La Barroux. Both have MP3 files of their office and since both are traditional Benedictines they both use essentially the same psalter Schema, antiphons as well as follow the same feast days. www.osbnorcia.org and barouxchant.com. <br /><br />This practice of praying the Office and trying to chant along with the monks has enriched my devotional life immensely.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062221333467776105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590904241978068986.post-40810051156780670182014-09-17T05:40:10.075-07:002014-09-17T05:40:10.075-07:00Wonderful news.

At present, there is no Bishop or Parish Priest saying that this should not be done.<br /><br />Deo Gratias for The Divine Office and The Divine Mass. They do go together.<br />Zephyrinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179350648709554049noreply@blogger.com
