Accompanying Gregorian Chant Made Easy
The Drone Chant Book — with Suggested Fingerings

Gregorian chant does not have to be difficult to accompany.

Accompanying Gregorian Chant Made Easy offers a simple, practical way to begin supporting Gregorian chant at the organ—even if you are not an experienced organist.

Start with one note.

This book introduces a straightforward method for accompanying chant: begin by playing the melody and sustaining a simple drone beneath it. Then, step by step, progress to fuller accompaniment.

Clear instructions, suggested fingerings, practical tips, and sixteen beloved Gregorian chants provide a practical path for beginning accompanists.

• Find and play the chant melody
• Establish a simple harmonic foundation
• Read the accompaniment notation used in the book
• Follow the natural flow of Gregorian chant
• Accompany without overpowering the singers
• Gradually move from a simple drone to fuller accompaniment

The book also explains how to approach the free rhythm of Gregorian chant and how the accompaniment notation indicates when to play and when to sustain a note.

The principle is simple: The singers sing the chant; the organ supports them.

The book includes sixteen Gregorian chants:

1. Kyrie XVI
2. Kyrie VIII
3. Sanctus VIII
4. Agnus Dei VIII
5. Ite, missa est VIII
6. Dies irae
7. In paradísum
8. Chorus Angelórum
9. Víctimae pascháli laudes
10. Ubi cáritas et amor
11. Pange lingua gloriósi
12. Veni Creátor Spíritus
13. Salve Regína (Simple tone)
14. Ave María
15. Ave maris stella I
16. Adóro te devóte

Whether you are a beginning organist, a pianist learning to accompany chant, or a parish musician looking for a practical place to start, this book provides one simple path from beginner to parish accompanist.

Get Gregorian chant off the page and back into the voices of the Church.
