In Paradisum CD
Heavenly music and we sometimes hear it before Holy Mass at my parish Church, St Francis of Assisi in Madison, MS
An inspiring collection of masterpieces of Gregorian chant and polyphony, sacred music all sung a cappella, offering a unique spiritual and religious listening experience. This is the next generation of chant CD. Not only does it feature Catholic priests singing that wonderfully peaceful Gregorian chant, but it will also introduce you to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of nuns singing the Gregorian chant. The chant is interspersed among pieces of polyphony. With polyphonic choir music, there is not only a melody and harmony, as with most choral music, but each vocal part is its own melody which intertwines with the others to form the most beautiful vocal music ever heard.
