内容简介 在线阅读本书
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.
作者简介 Sandra Boynton is an illustrator and bestselling author whose greeting cards have sold hundreds of millions of copies in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. She has written and illustrated 22 books for children and adults, including the New York Times bestseller, Chocolate: The Consuming Passion. Sandra lives with her husband and four children where she works out of a converted barn/studio.
媒体推荐 Inevitably, the craze for Gregorian Chant in the past few years had to provoke a backlash; the only question was when and in what form it would arrive. One answer is a book titled "Grunt." Its front cover has a cartoon of four pigs, holding candles, looking reverent and floating against a sky-blue background with fleecy clouds-a visual echo of the cover on a best-selling disc by the Benedictine monks of Santo Domingo de Silos, who stated the craze. Inside the cover is a compact disc of "Pigorian Chant" performed by the "Ad Hog Camerata." The music sounds like authentic Gregorian chant, and the singing-under the direction of two well-credentialed directors-is quite good. Some of the texts are in authentic (though not liturgical) Latin, for example: "Ecce Macdonaldus senex, qui fundum habet" (Behold Old MacDonald, who has a farm"). Others are in pig Latin-for example, "Y-whay are-ay e-way ere-hay?" E way are-ay ere-hay o-taying-say ad nauseam." Sophomoric? Of course, but also occasionally cute. And, we might add, sui generis. --
The Washington Post 编辑推荐 "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.
专业书评 From the Back CoverHere, for the first and probably only time anywhere, is the definitive text and recording of the sublime yet humble monophony of the Sincere Pigs from the ancient farmstead, Snouto Domoinko de Silo. Intoned in the original Pig Latin, with antiphonal responsoria and commentaria in Latin by the lesser barnyard animals, and featuring the ethereal polyphony of chickens, this music is not to be soon forgotten.
