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.
