Chant: Music For The Soul
Chant: Music for the Soul, is the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief – the perfect antidote to our fast-moving modern world. Chant has proven to heal, calm and also give strength; it’s power is timeless and universal. Previous albums of chant have sold in the tens of millions. Further fueling the huge general demand is Chant’s use in the smash-hit computer game Halo – this is chant for a new computer-gaming generation.CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"It’s a pretty safe bet that very few of Universal Music’s recent signings count Pope Benedict XVI among their fans. But the pontiff is a definite admirer of the latest boys in the hood(s) to sign globally to Universal Classics" – Billboard
“the musical structure of chanting can have a significant and positive physiological impact … studies also demonstrate that such practices have been shown to lower blood pressure, increase levels of the performance hormone DHEA as well as reducing anxiety and depression.” – Dr. Alan Watkins, Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience at Imperial College London
“When the Monks sing, the chant opens our hearts. We hope it purifies our souls and helps us regain clarity, light, strength and peace. Where there is chaos, we seek to restore order. Where there is emptiness, we try and find meaning. And where there is sadness, joy can return.” – Gregor Henckel Donnersmarck, Abbot of the Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz
“Album Notes” on itunes:
If the Internet had been around 875 years ago, when the Abbey of Stift Heiligenkreuz was founded, you’d probably have heard of these guys by now. Instead, it wasn’t until early 2008 that the folks at Universal saw a YouTube clip of the monks at one of the Pope’s favorite monasteries, and set about making Chant. It’s the most authentic recording you’ll ever hear of Gregorian Chant – the prayer that has been sung in free rhythm by Christian monks for more than a thousand years. It is, quite literally, Music for the Soul.
Sacred Music - Jeffrey Tucker:
“The quality of singing is unspeakably beautiful, even perfect … And it is not just perfect on one song but every chant and everything about every chant. Your jaw will drop on the first hearing, and then you feel the desire to listen to it a thousand times over.”
“I do believe that this is the most wonderful, most perfect sound I’ve heard yet on any chant recording.”
