Book Reviews of Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo
Book Review: Insulting garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
This has to be the most insulting, immature biased creation of a loser to say the least. The Gregorian Chant is the best music in the world as it is of the Roman Catholic Church and, where music began! The author of this garbage is clearly anti-church and anti Spanish as she is trying to demise the great holy Monks at Santo Domingo in Spain. She should be ashamed od herself. Anyone who purchases this garbage is wasting their money and soul. Better to purchase the real Gregorian Chants by the great Monks at Santo Domingo! What a treat to listen to in this age of spiritual mediocrity!
Summary of Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo
A delightfully silly, good-natured parody of the recording phenomenon Chant and other works that put Gregorian music on the charts, Grunt is a book and CD set that combines Sandra Boynton's inimitable way with farm animals and a satirical sense that comes deliciously out of left barn.In a far-off valley live the obeisant Domoinkan Pigs of Snouto Domoinko de Silo. Here, twelve times a day, these simple swine grunt the unadorned, ethereal music of Pigorian Chant (translation included). For occasions from the first mealtime (Op-slay ime-tay. Et's lay eat-ay. Um yay, um-yay.) to Nox Animaliae, when they're joined by all the animals in a harmony that dates back before the time of Caesar Hogustus, the pigs chant.
Listen, look at Sandra Boynton's delicious illustrations, and laugh. It's what to play whenever you're feeling disgruntled.
"Tempus porco nihil est," or, "Time to a pig means zilch," according to Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo, a very funny takeoff on the Gregorian chant craze by Sandra Boynton, the author of Chocolate: The Consuming Passion and other droll volumes. This amusing little book, complete with a well-sung 40-minute compact disc by the Ad Hog Camerata, is a note-perfect send-up of chant and the hype that surrounds it. At the same time, the book presents the musical chronicle of a day in the life of one seriously pretentious farm. Boynton's pictures--from the cover to the "illuminations"--are a delight. The cows speak for record company executives everywhere when they intone, "Non plaudite. Modo pecuniam jacite." (Don't applaud, just throw money.) This would make a perfect gift for a musical friend, and if no one gets it for you, you'd be well justified in buying it for yourself for a quick pick-me-up or chant overdose antidote.
