Psallentes is proud to present the latest addition to the Plainchant Pro Series (label Le Bricoleur). It’s number two in the series, but since number three was already available some months ago, this is the third cd in the series. The cd has run a bit late, but here he (she?) is! Highly recommended. Buy through your local shop, or via Le Bricoleur.
This week saw only one new episode (#013) of the Antiphonary Walk-through, mainly due to Hendrik’s voice dropping to, well, zero dB. Meanwhile, you might want to check out www.antiphonaria.com, where all the walk-through-movies that have been made and will be made are assembled in a time-line. Or you can subscribe to the playlist on YouTube. Thanks!

And while we’re at it: we would like you to watch this fair trade coffee ad with George Clooney (the look-alike, unfortunately – or fortunately, if you like). Ask George Clooney to commit to fairly traded coffee on Solidar.
