Album Notes & Community Reviews

A landmark recording in early music performance that explores the deep Eastern influences on Roman liturgical chant. Directed by Marcel P茅r猫s, the ensemble controversially incorporates Byzantine vocal ornamentation and ison (drone) techniques to reconstruct the sound of the 7th and 8th-century Papal court.
