The perfect introduction to chant!
The purity and simplicity of Gregorian chant is what fed the musical and liturgical life of Christianity for more than a millennium before there were any Protestants. But after the reforms of the Vatican II Council in the 1960s, chant went into disuse.
Gregorian chant is back, and more popular than it has been in the last forty years. This handy book is for musicians of a denominations and levels of ability to sing chant, and to understand it more than ever before.
New for the second edition of this classic work are: an intirely new interior design that is easier to navigate and read, many additional chants, along with historical and spiritual introductions to each of them.

Inspired by his own love for the chant, Dr. Fowells has provided a simple guide book enabling anyone to experience the inherent beauty and intense spirituality of this ancient musical treasure. He not only teaches how to read chant notation and interpret the ancient enums, but also provides 21 simple chants with texts that can be used in every church throughout the year.
Founder of the Los Angeles Gregorian Schola at California State University, Los Angeles, Dr. Robert Fowells has studied and taught Gregorian chant for almost 30 years. He currently serves as Emeritus Professor of Music at CSULA.
"Dr. Fowells book fulfills a long-standing need for a clear and simple introduction to the treasury of Gregorian chant that is based on the latest findings..."
- Fr. Columba Kelly OSB, St. Meinrad Archabbey
"Chant Made Simple is truly designed not to frighten anyone away from what might appear to be something complex."
- Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts/Music, Saint Michael's College, Vermont
