I have often mentioned that I think Gregorian chant sung by women only is ethereally beautiful. Listening to the new chant disk by the Benedictine nuns of Abbaye de Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation has confirmed my view.
The Benedictine nuns of the sister abbey of the male monastery at La Barroux in France near Avignon have produced a stunning collection of chants.
Rather than try to describe their chant and the sound of the bells of their monastery, listen to a few little samples I stitched together. Then order the disk. AMAZON UK LINK HERE.
This would be a great stocking stuffer, especially for girls.

Simply gorgeous. Simple transcendence is sorely lacking in our hyper world.
I ordered this for my mother for Christmas.
I’ve ordered these as my gift for Priests this Christmas!
Simply Lovely…their short video gives a great explanation of their “work”.
