If you are a lover of Early or Sacred Music, this CD will inspire and delight you as it presents some of the most beautiful music ever written for voice. Recorded by the Ann Arbor Grail Singers, an ensemble of thirteen women that has gained an outstanding reputation in Gregorian Chant and Early Music repertoire, Sounds of the Spirit expresses musically the emotional and mystical meaning embedded in the liturgical texts of the church. The profound spiritual mysteries-translated into sublime, multi-voiced melodies-are presented here by this talented group of women. From the "Hodie" which is traditionally sung on Christmas Day, to the "Exsurge" which introduces the spiritual time of Lent, to the "Haec Dies" which captures the wonder of the Resurrection, this recording conveys the power of both the text and the music of great masters through the beautiful voices and harmonies of the Ann Arbor Grail Singers. Conductor Lynn Malley (A Women's Celebration of Chant and Harmony, Ave Maria Press, 1998) leads the ensemble in this marvelous collection of music. 1. Dominus Jesus
