Label: BAYARD MUSQUE Catalog: D 3168 Format: CD Various ArtistsLes Voix Cisterciennes Following Saint Bernard of Clairvaux’s initial impetus in 1115, Cistercian abbeys sprang up in almost every corner of Europe and the order is still very much alive today. This recording presents a musical history of these communities through the ages. It is a history that moves from Gregorian chant to songs performed in various living languages after the Second Vatican Council. These are either sung a capella or accompanied by an organ or zither. |
