before most art was secular…
I recently received a note about a 30-minute long event this Sunday in Washington Heights’ Fort Tryon Park. ComplineNYC is a group that uses the Medieval art of Gregorian chant for the purpose of…well for the purpose it was originally created for: meditation. The site in the park was picked for its acoustics rather than visuals; it’s the reverberant tunnel on a pedestrian walkway. The group’s web site warrants a look, and I’m going to try to go catch some of the sonic vibrations.
