“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

This is worth more than every note of Dan Schutte. One more reason to be saddened by Benedict’s resignation was his commitment to chant (https://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/letters/2011/documents/hf_ben-xvi_let_20110513_musica-sacra.html ).
Several years ago, I found this recording of the Litaniae Lauretanae that I also like.
https://youtu.be/QqeVkDMEK7w
A beautiful rendering of a familiar style of litany, as it’s what we do in our parish in France when the Mass requires it from time to time through the liturgical year.
Until earlier today when I consulted the ordo, I hadn’t realised or remembered that the rosary was formerly appointed to be said each day in parish churches, followed by the Litany, during October through the 2nd November.
Thank you Fr. Z and Patrick L. Ethereal indeed.
Not that the chant isn’t wonderful, but in the “both-and” spirit of Catholicism, I rather enjoy this version:

Est tres beau!
You’re welcome, Gumby. Very nice, Chaswjd. I also like Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine.

If time doesn’t permit that, maybe Sanctus a 12 from his Symphoniae Sacrae.

Sorry, in the notes, it says the Symphoniae Sacrae was by G. Gabrieli, not Monteverdi. I confused myself when I read too quickly that the Monteverdi Choir performed it.
I too love chant sung by women and would love to have on my iPhone this this recording of the women of the Choeur Grégorien de Paris singing a litany. Unfortunately as far as I can determine it is not available on iTunes.
