The Gregorian Chant Schola of Saint John’s Abbey and University, under the direction of Fr.

The selections of the CD celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, son of Mary, with chants from Advent, Christmas, Lent, Ordinary Time, and Marian feast days. The CD is entirely in Latin, including Latin psalm verses with the Mass propers, and a few selections include medieval rudimentary harmony (“organum”).

    Can’t wait to hear this. Hoping it will be available on ITunes. Like seeing the ecumenical dimension of this, since it was released by Ignatius Press! 🙂 JK
