Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo

Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo by Boynton, Sandra. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780761105947.

A delightfully silly, good-natured parody of the recording phenomenon Chant and other works that put Gregorian music on the charts, Grunt is a book and CD set that combines Sandra Boyntons inimitable way with farm animals and a satirical sense that comes deliciously out of left barn. In a far-off valley live the obeisant Domoinkan Pigs of Snouto Domoinko de Silo. Here, twelve times a day, these simple swine grunt the unadorned, ethereal music of Pigorian Chant (translation included). For occasions from the first mealtime (Op-slay ime-tay. Ets lay eat-ay. Um yay, um-yay.) to Nox Animaliae, when theyre joined by all the animals in a harmony that dates back before the time of Caesar Hogustus, the pigs chant. Listen, look at Sandra Boyntons delicious illustrations, and laugh. Its what to play whenever youre feeling disgruntled.
