Gregorian Chant Christmas on CD

The monks of Solesmes celebrate the birth of Jesus at Vigils, Midnight Mass, and the Mass of the Day with Gregorian Chant. In Christmas- The Night Office Vigils the monks of Solesmes celebrate the birth of Jesus at the same time of night he was born in Bethlehem. In Christmas- Midnight Mass and Mass of the Day, Introits, Graduals, Alleluias, Offertories, Communions, Responses, Sequences, Hymns, and Tropes are featured. Since 1833, the research and study of Gregorian Chant by the Monks of the Abbey of St. Peter in Solesmes, France, has focused on making this sung form of prayer the finest possible offering for God, to whom it is addressed six times a day at the Abbey. "Paraclete Press offers a superb list of outstanding Christian music which is magnificently performed by the monks of Solesmes. Each of these highly recommended exceptional recordings is flawlessly produced and showcases centuries of devotions, chants, celebrations, and the glorification of God." (Reviewers Bookwatch)
