GREGORIAN CHANT:
THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION
This album presents a selection of the most beautiful and well-known pieces of chant from the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. It is ideal for listeners wanting to discover music created in the 12th century that continues to be passed from generation to generation.
The album includes pieces from the celebrated Mass of the Angels and Requiem Mass among other notable performances. The singing has a special quality, a reverent serenity that stems from the fact that the monks are actually praying, not just performing. Recorded in the great Romanesque church of the abbey, the acoustic ambience is perfectly suited to the sung prayer and the quality of the beautiful art.

FROM SILENCE TO LIGHT
This CD is a compilation of the efforts of the Benedictine choirs of the Abbeys of Santo Domingo de Silos, Saint-Wandrille, Notre-Dame de Ganagobie, and Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux.
Gregorian Chant is part of a liturgical act. It is a prayer, a commendation to the Lord, Its lyrics are sacred, almost always taken from the Holy Scriptures, and particularly the Psalms. Therefore it is an inspired music, born from the revealed texts, prayer and contemplation.

CHRISTMAS CHANTS
Advent, Christmas and Epiphany are reflected in this 1958 compilation, one of the best ever made by the monks of Silos. It was made at the highest peak of the choir's abilities, when the community had almost 80 monks, among them a schola of 20 young singers who were full of faith in their work and all very conscious of making the first contemporary recordings of the newly restored Silos chant. The first antiphon, Rorate cali desuper, for the fourth week of Advent, reflects that emotion from the first notes on.

THE SOUL OF CHANT
Five Gregorian Masses recorded during one of the most significant moments in the long history of Santo Domingo de Silos. The influence of their masters from Solesmes, France, can be perceived throughout the recording, as they follow the musical instincts of Dom Mocquereau and Dom Pothier -- great spirits in the early 20th-century Gregorian renaissance. Includes Masses: Lux Et Origo, Fons Bonitatis, De Angelis, Cum Jubilo and Orbis Factor. 23-page booklet with essays, notes on each chant, and translations of the Latin.
