Review

I am an ardent fan of Gloriæ Dei Cantores! The Chants of Mary, by the Gloriæ Dei Cantores Men’s Schola is a superb and faithful recording of ancient chants that still speak volumes today. Chant has a timeless and universal quality, though it used to be developed in a specific era of the western church. Likewise, a proper understanding of Mary’s role in salvation history, and her modeling of life in the church is making her popular again among all Christians. This recording captures the most productive of this reality! In Jesus, John Michael Talbot Founder, Minister General, and Spiritual Father The Brothers and Sisters of Charity –John Michael Talbot
