The Laus Plena Foundation
has an essentially cultural scope. It aims at cooperating with secular and ecclesiastical institutions and experts, fostering cultural, artistic, scientific, study and research synergies. Its purpose is to raise awareness, encourage and convene those who wish to work in the various contexts in which Christian sacred music resounds: sacred chant in all its dimensions, but especially in its elements of praise and prayer, encouraging the singing of the congregation. Its action focuses on three directions: collecting the heritage of sacred music of all Christian Churches, especially the Eastern ones, remained closer to the Christian origins; the support for its study and transmission; and the encouragement to a careful and dignified performance.
The Evolution of Christian Sacred Chant
The authors reveal to us that the praise sung by the first Christian communities was one of their distinctive features, and that it was expressed with great fervour and strength. With the expansion of Christianity, sacred music became more sophisticated, and was increasingly in the hands of the clergy and specialists. The singing of the Assembly was often largely entrusted to a group of singers, to choirs or to deacons.
