Following several years as a Cistercian monk - during which I was very busy as an organist and choral trainer - I have developed a particular style of chant accompaniment. Designed to support and uplift the monastic choir, my style is designed to be at once passive and beautiful, consisting of journey-like movement and thick harmonies.

For those interested, I am happy to compose harmonies for monastic and parish communities, and to offer instruction to liturgical organists. Please contact me for all enquiries: duckettcalligraphy@gmail.com

Below is an example of psalmody accompaniment: Psalm 9, recorded during my own practice time in a Trappist Monastery in the Irish Mid Lands.
