Bonum Est: a programme on Gregorian Chant. Gregorian hymns – Turkish or not?
In the 13th episode of Bonum Est you will hear Gregorian hymns and Turkish ilahis. It is unknown how the Gregorian Chant originally sounded. But especially the Gregorian hymns are well cut for various performance concepts. Adjacent to the islamic practice of the ilahis, Wouter Swets places a number of hymns in complex Turkish times.
