This recording features a wide selection of chants including the Stabat Mater, the Marian antiphons for Compline, selected propers from the Feasts of the Immaculate Conception, the Nativity of Mary, the Annunciation, the Visitation and the Assumption. Review I am an ardent fan of Gloriæ Dei Cantores! The Chants of Mary, by the Gloriæ Dei Cantores Men's Schola is a wonderful and faithful recording of ancient chants that still speak volumes today. Chant has a timeless and universal quality, though it was developed in a specific era of the western church. Likewise, a proper understanding of Mary's role in salvation history, and her modeling of life in the church is making her popular again among all Christians. This recording captures the best of this reality!
