The Saint Meinrad Institute for Sacred Music, St. Meinrad, IN, will host a workshop on simple English polyphony on May 21-23, 2025.
This first-of-its-kind program at Saint Meinrad will focus on liturgical polyphony composed by monks of Saint Meinrad. The repertoire includes nearly 200 polyphonic works, few of which have been published and none of which have been taught to the general public.
Fr. Tobias Colgan, OSB, one of Saint Meinrad’s most prolific composers, will join Dr. Tyler Thress, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Mount Marty University, to lead the workshop. The program introduces a repertoire that adds variety, beauty, and accessibility to liturgies that rely primarily on hymns.
The workshop fee is $425 for single registration and $600 for a double. Accommodations and meals are included. The commuter rate is $175.
