Tune the Ear

What an interesting discovery - to be able to "tune the ear".  

As Gloriae Dei Cantores has rehearsed the Vaughan Williams famous Mass in G Minor, we have discovered that Vaughan Williams often uses"modal" sounds - those sounds so common to chant. As we have rehearsed and noted these particular colors, we have also discovered that our ears became attuned to those sounds and gave us an entirely new appreciation and insight to this work!
