Alma Redemptoris Mater from Gregorian Chant, Christmas Chants

Crux Fidelis
Gregorian Chant (Sacred Scripture)
Consortium Vocale / Alexander Schweitzer

Gregorian chant, in its all-embracing spirituality and poetry, appeals to the deeper levels of the human heart. Monks in the Middle Ages composed and performed this music as an integrated part of their daily occupation with Sacred Scripture. Throughout the centuries Gregorian chant has enriched and deepened the liturgy of the church, and has been a source of inspiration in every period of European music history. Under the leadership of Alexander M. Schweitzer, Consortium Vocale presents chants from the five Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday and Good Friday, recorded in the medieval church at Ringsaker in Norway.

Consortium Vocale: Crux Fidelis (gregorian chant)

In place of the Apostle's Creed in the beginning is the longer Nicene Creed. The Rosary doesn't officially start until the Pater Noster of the first Glorious Mystery.

There are precisely 15 mysteries of the actual Rosary, and there will always be precisely 15 mysteries of the actual Rosary, no matter what anyone--especially an antipope--says to the contrary. Related, see:
