Description
An excellent introduction to the chant, this CD contains the chants of vespers for the January 1st feast of Mary, the Mother of God, along with Benediction chants and other antiphons, hymns and responsories. The accompanying booklet contains the text, French translation, and brief liturgical description, along with the music of the selected chants. The quality of the performance and of the recording is excellent, as is the subtle organ accompaniment to the psalmody. This is to be recommended to both the seasoned chant enthusiast and the beginner. Tracklisting: 1. Bells 2. Deus in adjutorium 3. admirable 4. Quando natus est 5. Rubum 6. Ecce Maria 7. Capitulum 8.
