Reddit reviews Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo

Some years ago, when everybody was loving the CD "Chant: The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos," cartoonist Sandra Boynton released a startlingly well-done parody called "Grunt: pigorian chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo" Rather than the liturgical cycle of the monastery, this CD follows the sorta-liturgical cycle of a farm, as seen by the animals.

What makes "Grunt" so excellent is that it's performed by very good cantors in authentic Gregorian modes. Each species chants its own part in impeccable Latin, except for the pigs, who chant in elegant, clearly-enunciated Pig-Latin.

You can play it as background and no one will suspect a thing, except music professors and church cantors, who will get it and laugh inexplicably throughout.

I got it as a gag gift for someone and then when I heard it I bought a copy for myself.

My family owned the parody CD 'Grunt', a chant in Latin based around the toils of a farmyard. The pigs chanted in Pig Latin, of course.

It sounds like Gregorian chants, it's performed by professional choristers, the only catch is that it's things like Old McDonald Had A Farm in Latin, complete with the EIEIO; and other pieces in Pig Latin. If you ever have the misfortune to have to attend professional development sessions, innocently offer "Gregorian Chants" as a background (and don't show them the cover), then sit back and quietly chuckle to yourself when everyone relaxes and oohs and aahs, but absolutely nobody twigs the lyrics...
