Description

The MA in Ritual Chant and Song is a one-year programme exploring ritual vocal repertoires, which are contextualised through the study of ritual theory and liturgical history. Western plainchant is the main chant repertoire studied, and Irish traditional religious song is also key to the programme. Vocal development is facilitated through one-to-one, weekly vocal classes, as well as master-classes with internationally renowned performers. The programme is offered in association with the Benedictine community at Glenstal Abbey.
