Unusual order

"The chanting is excellently done. However, the order is a bit unusual. The chants begin with Lent/Passiontide, then progress into Easter, Advent and Christmas. That's a little odd. If you're using this to focus on the life of Our Blessed Lord (like the 15 mysteries of the Rosary), the order is off kilter. But I guess you could just program your CD player with whatever order you want.

The Latin is pronounced well on this CD. (Sometimes you can get a chant CD on which the chanters have French accents.)

Note to the reviewer who was mad about the word "cult": Forgive the translator who used that word. It sounds like a false cognate error to me. The ones who are hardest for me to forgive are those who discontinued Gregorian chant's primacy of place in the liturgy; the ones I can never understand are those who go to Novus Ordo masses. Lex orandi, lex credendi."

Love it!

"I love this cd. This is exactly what I've been looking for: 1) all male voices, 2) no talking, and 3) no extra music or instruments. This provides the perfect background for meditation, powerful prayer, or just comfort before or after a stressful event."
