Gloriae Dei Cantores Men's Schola - The Chants of Mary

Review by Ramiz Ali Khan

The album, The Chants of Mary by Gloriae Dei Cantores Men's Schola, is a beautiful and moving collection of Gregorian chants dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The Schola's performance is impeccable, with each member's voice blending seamlessly into a harmonious whole. The chants are sung in Latin, adding to the sense of reverence and devotion that pervades the album.

The Chants of Mary includes both well-known and lesser-known chants, ranging from the haunting "Salve Regina" to the joyful "Ave Maria." The Schola's rendition of each chant is imbued with a sense of solemnity and reverence, making it clear that this music is intended as a form of worship.

The album is beautifully produced, with a clear and balanced sound that allows the listener to fully appreciate the nuances of the Schola's performance. The accompanying booklet provides helpful background information on each chant, as well as the Latin text and English translations.
