♬ Sounds of Silence ~ Gregorian Chant (HD) ~ No copy infraction intended on my videos.

This is my first HD video; I started creating videos in earnest about 2 months ago. Please let me know if you prefer this size, if so I will begin creating all of my videos in HD. I have made changes in the graphics and animations I created for this video, from the previous non-HD version, since I had to remake all the frames anyway for the difference in size; most are towards the second half of it.

I have always thought this song was pretty, but had never heard it in chant, which I thought accentuated the song and brought it to a whole new level.

The Sounds of Silence" is the song that propelled the 1960s folk music duo Simon and Garfunkel to popularity. It was written in February 1964 by Paul Simon in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Simon conceived of the song as a way of capturing the emotional trauma felt by many Americans.

Gregorian chant is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic liturgical chant in Western Christianity that accompanied the celebration of Mass and other ritual services.

Gregorian is a German band which performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment, the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant.
