The Recovering Choir Director

Please welcome Jane, a.k.a. “Alle Psalite” of “Catholic, Musician, Student, in that order” to St. Blog’s Parish.

I’m a music major concentrating on harp performance, but have developed a fascination with Gregorian chant and other (good) sacred music to the extent that I expect to do my graduate work in that area. This is provided, of course, that I don’t flunk out because I spend too much time talking about the need for liturgical and musical reform in the Church with my other Catholic/music nerd friends. I’ve taken all the classes on Catholic music that were offered this year–Music of the Catholic Church, Gregorian Chant Seminar, and Gregorian Schola. The Schola sings at our chant Mass every Sunday, and I love it. I’m also slightly obsessed with the teacher of the above classes because he’s really cool. This is probably a sufficient introduction for now.
