Possible return of chant

Possible return of chant

I used to play guitar at the liturgies at Franciscan Univeristy, but I will always prefer chant, organum and the organ in the Latin Rite liturgy.  I keep a CD of Chant by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos in my office at work.  Every semester, I play traditional Gregorian chant and organum composed by Leonin and Perotin for my undergraduates students when we come to the art of the Middle Ages in our humanities course, which is always met with a positive response. And so the following news did not induce any negative feelings in me:
