Gregorian Chant

deep monophonic sacred melodies resounding inner tremors and oscillation reverberating incursion agitates my soul stirring an ethereal timelessness of mystery that transcends the enigma of life and death and embodying mystique throughout the ages bellows echoing within ancient monastery walls a rich cadence and tone larger than life assaulting all senses with vibrating conjunct and disjunct tetrachords and hexachords gregorian melodies most direct channel to divinity most appropriate as we lay my father in his final resting place on this overcast rainy afternoon and see him off to the higher realm Submitted on June 30, 2018 for contest MID SUMMER 2018 PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD
