Description: | The monks of Solesmes have selected a sampling of the "best" Gregorian chants, including Antiphons for Lauds of Martyrs at Eastertide, Kyrie IX and Gloria IX. This recording reflects the unmatched authenticity which characterizes the exquisitely gracious and moving performances of Gregorian chant by the Monks of Solesmes. In the late 19th century, Pope Leo XIII charged the Abbey of Solesmes with the restoration and preservation of Gregorian Chant according to the original 10th-11th century manuscripts. The care and zeal with which the monks undertook this mission quickly extended the Abbey's influence beyond Europe. Their goal: that Gregorian Chant be available to all people so they may "pray with the help of beauty" (Pop St. Pius X). Today, the Abbey continues to be a vibrant source of research and liturgical prayer with their library of over 200,000 volumes, and a musical palaeography workshop second only to the Vatican. But above all, Solesmes is a living community of Benedictine monks searching for God and sharing their spirituality, community life, and heritage.The "Gregorian Chant Sampler" CD by the Solesmes Monastic Choir Of St. Peter's Abbey, released by Paraclete Recordings, offers a sublime introduction to the timeless beauty of Gregorian chant. This carefully curated collection features some of the most evocative and spiritually uplifting chants from the rich tradition preserved at Solesmes Abbey in France?a center renowned worldwide for its dedication to authentic liturgical music. The choir?s pure vocal harmonies and meditative interpretations transport listeners into a world of tranquility and sacred reflection. Paraclete Recordings is celebrated for its commitment to high-quality recordings that honor spiritual heritage, making this release an essential addition for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts of sacred music. The Solesmes Monastic Choir has achieved international acclaim through their meticulous scholarship and artistry, with numerous award-winning albums that have set benchmarks in Gregorian chant performance. |
