Stella Matutina: Gregorian chant

CD Stella Matutina: Gregorian chant Vox Clamantis Weekend Guitar Trio

New and old, near and far, hot and cold.
These pairs of words, which at first sight seem to be opposites, can over time, or if we look at them more attentively, become close companions, even intimately intermingled.
Gregorian chant is a musical meditation born of an oral tradition which goes back centuries into the past.
What could be further from this than the sound of our electric guitars?
Such would be the exasperated reaction of someone blinded by prejudice.
Yet the electric guitar too is capable of meditation, and the melody which resonates in the sacred texts can display expressivity and sensibility in the highest degree.
Travelling companions may differ in age and clothing, but if they take the same road, their steps, guide them towards the same goal.
