A rare release of chants and polyphony from a U.S.A. abbey, this eclectic hymn selection is a cross-section of music sung at the Norbertine abbey that includes chants from the liturgy as well as motets and music from the Renaissance era. These latter are sung on solemn occasions like Easter, Pentecost, Christmas, and other great feasts of the liturgical year. This lovely recording is a testimony of the vigor and subtle beauty of Gregorian chant as sung today in the USA.
