David Eben
Gregorian Chant & Early PolyphonyDavid Eben (born on the 6th of January 1965 in Prague) He is a founder and an art director of the Schola Gregoriana Pragensis ensemble. After graduation from the clarinet studies at Prague’s conservatory in 1986, he took up musicology at Faculty of Arts of Charles University. Since the second form he specialized in medieval music, mainly in Gregorian chant. In 1991 he graduated from Paris conservatory (Conservatoire Nationale Superieur de Musique de Paris), the program Conducting Gregorian Chant, and in the following year he worked as a conductor of the Choeur gregorien de Paris ensemble. Then he also often visited the Solesmes monastery, a centre of research into Gregorian chant, with the view of studying and consulting. Since 1993 he works at the Institute of Musicology of Charles University where he lectures on topics related to Gregorian chant and liturgy (neumatic and choral notation, introduction to Gregorian chant studies, seminar on medieval monody etc.). In September 2008 he became profesor of Gregorian Chant at the University of Lucerne (Switzerland). He regularly tutors in summer courses on theory and practice of Gregorian chant in France (Academie internationale de Sees, Centre de musique polyphonique de Picardie Saint-Valery) and in Switzerland (Festival de Musique Sacre de Fribourg). On a long term basis he has been co-operating with the Czech Radio in creating programs on Gregorian chant (History of the Tone, a cycle Liturgical Year through Gregorian Chant). Besides medieval sacred music he also deals with other music genres. Together with his two brothers he is active in the Eben Brothers Band.

About The Class
Visio pacis – The Depths of Hope in Gregorian Chant
Throughout history, a call has echoed that may be one of the most profound expressions of humanity: the longing for peace. For the biblical Israelites, achieving peace was as challenging as it was for medieval Christians, and even in our modern 21st-century society, it remains increasingly at risk. The plea we hear in the Gregorian introit *Da pacem* is therefore just as relevant today: *Grant peace, O Lord, to those who trust in You.* The request for peace runs like a red thread through the repertoire of Gregorian chant and can also serve as the motto for this year’s workshop.
From this perspective, we will explore the diversity of medieval musical practice—not only in the “classical” chants of Gregorian chant but also in late medieval music, including early polyphony.
