Ellingwood Corner, one of the small churches in Maine
These instrumental and vocal chants offer a way to feel close to the divine. Their melodies are like Mobius strips that you follow along and find yourself mysteriously led to the beginning again and again.

Here you will find both recordings to listen to and lead sheets with melodies to play or sing and improvise on, without or without accompaniment.

You never know where these chants will be used-- Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Brunswick, Ohio--all a fair distance from these small churches in Maine. Here's hoping that you, wherever you may find yourself, can create a sort of musical church in your own home or car.
