From his &quot;youth&quot; works to those of &quot;maturity&quot; today he has never stopped training and improving himself to acheive very successful compositions. They are both simple and complex. The unison versions of his liturgical pieces can be sung with the melody only, but can also be enriched with rich harmonies depending on the skills of the choir performing the works.A few years ago, I commissioned a song for a training session that brought together nearly 500 people. The composition had to highlight the Word of God which was at the heart of the session. Music and lyrics are still trotting in people&#039;s minds after 20 years. This song was an essential element of the success of this session, perfectly adapted and up to this ephemeral and demanding assembly.Precise, poetic, witty and accessible, this is Gr\u00e9gory&#039;s music.\",\"reviewRating\": {\"@type\": \"Rating\",\"bestRating\": \"5\",\"ratingValue\": \"5\",\"worstRating\": \"1\"},\"author\": {\"@type\": \"Person\",\"name\": \"S\u00e9bastien ANTONI\"}},{\"@type\": \"Review\",\"datePublished\": \"January 19, 2019\",\"name\": \"His melodies are beautiful, his musical work deserves attention\",\"reviewBody\": \"With Gr\u00e9gory Notebaert I realized several liturgical songs as a lyricist.

He achieved, within a few years, impressive progress, which allowed him to develop his skills, serving his passion: composition.Since then, despite the geographical distance, a beautiful friendship binds us and I am very touched to see how important music is in his life.
