About

This recording will assist in personal or group praying of the liturgy of the hours in Gregorian chant for Good Friday. It includes all three nocturnes of the office of Matins and the antiphons and psalms of Lauds, the Good Friday liturgy of the hours. This recording reflects the unmatched authenticity which characterizes the exquisitely gracious and moving performances of Gregorian chant by the Monks of Solesmes.

In the late 19th century Pope Leo XIII charged the Abbey of Solesmes with the restoration and preservation of Gregorian Chant according to the original 10th–11th century manuscripts. The care and zeal with which the monks undertook this mission quickly extended the Abbey’s influence beyond Europe. Their goal: that Gregorian Chant be available to all people so they may “pray with the help of beauty” (Pope St Pius X).

Today, the Abbey continues to be a vibrant source of research and liturgical prayer with their library of over 200,000 volumes, and a musical palaeography workshop second only to the Vatican. But above all, Solesmes is a living community of Benedictine monks searching for God and sharing their spirituality, community life, and heritage.

“The latest edition of haunting, crystalline chant by the monks of the Abbey of Solesmes, at the forefront of the Gregorian revival from 1833 to the present. Flawless presentations of the three Nocturnes and Lauds of Good Friday, unrivalled in authenticity. An insert includes a brief history of Solesmes and Tenebrae, and a translation and brief commentary for each of the chants. A feast for the Gregorian aficionado.” – Theological Book Service
