From Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation
VOICES: CHANT FROM AVIGNON
The sisters of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation live a life that is remote and cloistered, among acres of green hills in Le Barroux, an hour and a half's drive from Avignon, in Provence. They are separated from the world by a grille. Even their families cannot talk to them except through bars, yet the purity and beauty of their singing cannot fail to touch you and transport you.
The nuns won a worldwide search of over 70 convents in 15 countries to find the world's finest female singers of Gregorian Chant. Mother Abbess says, "We want to send a message to our contemporaries, one that is most needed. A message that God loves us madly. And in Jesus we can find the meaning of life and return this love."
