Product Description
•••••
Since the refounding of the monastery of St. Peter of Solesmes in 1833
under Dom Prosper Gueranger, this Benedictine monastery on the River
Sarthe in western France has set the world standard both for the
performance of Gregorian chant and the authenticity of the music itself.
Commissioned by Pope Pius X to research the role of chant in liturgy
and to edit books on chant that reflect this research, Solesmes enjoys
an enviable reputation. Its work in liturgical reform and in the current
revival of Gregorian chant has been likened to that of the great abbey
of Cluny in the Middle Ages. These recordings incorporate new
understandings of ancient manuscripts and represent a distillation of
nearly 200 years of scholarship in the chant: musical paleography,
semiology, and modality. The groundbreaking work by the monks
of Solesmes has contributed to today’s resurgence of interest in
Gregorian chant as the foundation of Western music.
