Chants from the Holy Land
Chants from the Holy Land is a collection of 40 CDs featuring special masses, litanies, community prayers and hymns performed live by monks and nuns from churches and monasteries throughout the Holy Land. This sacred music spans a broad range of the religious communities of the East and the West, and is sung in the original languages: Aramaic, Armenian, Latin, Greek, Rumanian, Slavonic, Georgian, Slovakian, German, French, Italian, and Arabic.
This project seeks to document, with state-of-the-art technology and historical accuracy, the sacred musical forms as they have been sung by seasoned choirs for centuries, in the very places where Jesus and the early Christians walked.
Hear the bells ringing, smell the incense burning and feel the calm and tranquility of these most holy places through these sacred chants. From the little town of Bethlehem to the Mount of Olives; from Mount Sinai to the shores of Galilee, these CDs allow you to experience a musical pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
No other music will touch you more deeply than these simple Gregorian, Byzantine, Oriental and Medieval chants with their quiet and relaxing atmosphere ideal for meditation. They will lift your soul and soothe your body, mind and spirit.
