SAINT BENEDICT
Gregorian Chant
The monks of Fontgombault dedicate this recording to Pope Benedict XVI, who chose to place his pontificate under the patronage of the glorious patriarch of the monks of the West, their Blessed Father Saint Benedict.
This CD also follows closely after the bicentennial of the birth of Dom Prosper Gueranger, who was called a true son of Saint Benedict by Pope Pius IX. He was faithful to the "Holy Rule" of Saint Benedict, which determined in minute detail the liturgical office to which the monks are dedicated by duty of state: nothing in their life must be preferred to it.
