Gregorian Chant

[TexasCatholic]

Does anyone have any recommended compilations (or individual CDs) of Gregorian Chant?... I recently have found this to be really soothing and relaxing to me for prayer, meditation and yes, sleep

Thanks,

Michael

Go to Amazon.com. There are at least two CDs entitled Chant by a group of Benedictine monks at a Spanish monastery (Silos, I believe). There are recordings from the Benedicting monastery at Solemsnes, France which are considered to be authoratative. I prefer Chant.

Hi...welcome! Do you recommend Chant 2? I listen to 1 all the time...

Chant 2 is fine. But my all time favorite was recorded by Philips entitled Salve Regina which was remasterd for CD in 1987 but was recorded in 59 by the Benedictine monks of Clervaux. It has all the "warhorses" which my cathedral choir has sung over the years and includes the abbey bells which adds another dimension.

Can I get it on Amazon?

There's a great "Gregorian Chant for Meditation" on iTunes if you have an iPod or otherwise purchase from iTunes. It's a LOT of music and the recording quality is immaculate, as are the perfect voices! There is no instrumentation whatsoever, just the human voice. It takes me to another place, that's for sure. I have used it to relax, pray and sleep!

I just bought a couple of other ones off of amazon, so I'm hoping for the best. I'll report back

Hey! I saw your post and I just thought maybe you'd want to check out Divna - a serbian woman who specializes in ancient orthodox christian chant. her voice is of course not as low as gregorian chant but it is amazing. let me know what you think...!
