Chant Meditation by Various Artists - Uhune

ALBUM

Throughout the ages of music history, there has been music written for all occasions. In religious rites particularly, the use of music to facilitate the mourning process has yielded achingly beautiful results.

The chants assembled in this collection all relate to surviving a loved one's passing, and the questioning that follows. Gregorian chants often stimulate a primal response in an audience, and the deeply personal nature of the subject matter makes these performances all the more affecting. A chorus of voices singing as one, touching on such a private emotion, is overwhelmingly beautiful.

Performances by a variety of choruses from the world's monasteries have been collected for this recording. The producers aim to present them in an order conducive to the mourning process, an answer to the questions of faith that inevitably arise. Their accomplishment in that area may be subjective, but they have certainly succeeded in putting together an astounding album of immortal grace and beauty.
