a higher definition version is here; http://www.gloria.tv/?video=ap6urhtsxudrgwmjln6v - This music is NOT the 'POP' group 'Gregorian' but the actual Chant sung as it is supposed to be WITHIN the Roman Rite Catholic Church, the psalms and Holy Scriptures praising God. this is sung by The Benedictine Monks of Silos, Spain, is available below at Milan Records under SPIRITUAL http://www.milanrecords.com/spiritual/ and Jade Music http://www.jade-music.com/ LYRICS -And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it.//et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non conprehenderunt.../erat lux vera quae inluminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum/...That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world./ Gregorian Chant http://www.solesmes.com/GB/gregorien/hist.php?js=1 -- Gregorian Chant is a musical repertory made up of chants used in the liturgical services of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, the liturgical tradition which the Church has given us is a vocal, monophonic music composed in Latin using sacred texts from the Ancient and New Testaments. This is why Gregorian Chant has often been called a "sung Bible". Linked intimately to the liturgy in this way, the goal of the Gregorian melodies is to favor spiritual growth, reveal the gifts of God and the full coherence of the Christian message. What we call Gregorian chant today first appears distinctly in the Roman repertory of the fifth and sixth centuries. Its implementation and perhaps some of its composition was in the hands of a group of ministers in a service specially dedicated to the Roman basilicas, the schola cantorum. Gregorian chant also appears to have been an aural music, that is, transmitted by ear and committed to memory - like all other music of the world at the time.

Aug 28, 2008 - where can i get this CD, or any other catholic music cd with the best of this sort of music on it. I love it so much, it makes me want to learn latin again, the language of the church. Speaking of which, why does the church not use latin anymore? maybe it does, i have been away from the church for such a long time.
