Introduction: Picture yourself in a millennium-old church where the monks walk slowly down a gray-stone corridor and sing in Latin. See the rising morning mist encircling the graceful arches as the sound of the chants of these devout men worshipping their creator can be heard, awakening the birds in the trees.

Assignment: Compose your own chant, using what you learn about the medieval Geogorian chants. Translate it into Latin, using a translator, set it to music and record or practice singing it, keeping it to the traditional solemn, strong, and mystifying characteristics of this type of music.

Be sure to blog about your experience afterwards, explaining what it is you have learned and what you found surprising in your journey back into time.
