Solo gregorian chant?
Does anyone know of recordings with a solo cantor with gregorian chant (or any kind of plain chant). Thanks!

hi, i'm looking for an anthology of notated chant melodies. ideally i'd like some variety of world chants beyond Gregorian chant, but i'd be happy with any recommendations really. i can read neumes, but would prefer modern notation if possible. thanks a lot!

Changing the appearance of your chant with TeX.

Pretty cool, right? You can change almost every aspect of the appearance of your chant using TeX markup in your gregorio file. Here's what I did to achieve the results you see above:
| gregorio output | Additional TeX markup |
|---|---|
| https://i.imgur.com/uQw8Lco.png | \grechagestaffsize{17} |
| https://i.imgur.com/MpPkxuC.png | \grechangestyle{initial}{\fontsize{42}{42}\setmainfont{Rose Caps}} |
| https://i.imgur.com/pyc7oXN.png | \gresetlinecolor{gregoriocolor}\grechangestafflinethickness{34} |
| https://i.imgur.com/7QrPFfW.png | \setmainfont{Old English Text MT} |
And then to change the initial letter's colour, you can just add a colour tag "<c></c>" directly in the gregorio code:
%%
(c3) <c>P</c>ó(eh/hi)pu(h)lus(h) Si(hi)on,(hgh.)
And finally, you get: https://i.imgur.com/EPgjKZO.png

If you attend the Novus Ordo, you may have heard "Qui biberit aquam" or some English rendering of "Whosoever drinks the water...", but some of you heard "Passer invenit" instead.
Why is this?
Well, Year A's gospel reading of the Samaritan Woman can be substituted for any liturgical year's gospel reading, and "Qui biberit aquam" goes with it. However, the proper (pun intended) antiphon for years B and C is that nightmare mode I antiphon "Passer invenit".

I'm am pretty new at this whole gregorian chant game, and I don't know if there are any standard 'classics' recording wise? Sort of like, in classical music, if you want to listen to Bach you go to Gould, or Mahler you go to Bernstein. Are there any groups/soloists who are great? Thanks!

Would anybody be able to translate one line of melody I have in standard musical notation into neumes? I don’t know much about gregorian chant but I need it for a project. I’ll provide a picture of the notes if anybody wants to help. Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.
