Young seminarians from Switzerland have been surprised by the powerful global response to their new YouTube channel, accessible in English, through which they teach subscribers to sing Latin chant in the Dominican tradition.
The channel, OPChant, publishes one video a week. In each video, the friars sing an ancient chant from the unique musical tradition of their order. The score and words to every antiphon are provided as a PDF file in a link under each video and can be printed out.
The young Dominicans, Brothers Stefan Ansinger and Alexandre Frezzato, follow the calendar of the Church with each new release. They want to give communities and individuals time to learn a piece of music before it is called for in the liturgy.
