Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant Pronunciation videos

Here are some great videos to help you learn your French lyrics! The first link will help you with the chorus and verse one, but you will have to take good notes on verse 2, because the teacher in this video is not having her choir sing verse 2 in French.  The second video is of a native French singer performing this piece. She doesn't have the greatest vowels for choral singing, but her accent is a delight to listen to. Have fun putting all of those French vowels into your naso-pharynx!

How to Read Gregorian Chant

Homework for this week is to write out the solfege notes for Puer Natus Est Nobis. To help you out with this, let's go over what we learned in class. When writing out the solfege notes, the first step is to find DO or FA, which is indicated by the DO or FA clef, as you see here. After you have found where the DO is, then you know where all the other notes in the solfege scale fall. If DO is on the top line, then all of the notes would look like this! Your homework for this week is to write all of the solfege notes under the neumes in Puer Natus Est Nobis. Here is an example of what I want you to do. You can either just write the first letter of the note, as they do here, or write the whole word. WATCH OUT! In Puer Natus Est, the DO is not on the top line like in the above examples. It is on the THIRD line. Make sure your solfege notes match up with DO on the third line. While you work, have fun listening!
