Book Reviews of Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo
Book Review: Wake with a smile
Summary: 5 Stars
Orsnay, Orsnay....I love these songs but especially this one that encourages my husband to get up on a Saturday morning and take me out to breakfast. The singers are excellent. If you don't listen closely you don't realize it is Pig Latin.
Have fun!
Summary of Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo
GRUNT is a good-natured satirical response to the Gregorian Chant phenomenon. The compact disc-sized, full-color illustrated book details the origins of Pigorian Chant, and gives the entire text and translation of the accompanying forty-minute CD--from the Chant of Repose (Ore-snay, ore-snay: "Snore, Snore") to the Chant of Sublime Anticipation (Op-slay, Ime-tay: "Slop Time"). The beautiful recording, performed by past members of the Yale Glee Club and conducted by Emeritus Director Fenno Heath, is indistinguishable from authentic plain chant and polyphony, unless you listen closely."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.
