Gregorian chant is an ancient communal song tradition with its roots in the medieval Church, but its calming, meditative effect has made it a surprise hit in lockdown.
Sing in the comfort of your own home (where no strangers can hear you!) in this online choir session suitable for the absolute beginner.
