Description
Gregorian chant is still a seminal force in choral music, even a thousand years after Saint Gregory the Great lent it his name. Jon Washburn and Kevin Zakresky conduct the Vancouver Chamber Choir in an a cappella programme that traces choral repertoire back to the Gregorian chant on which it is based.

Repertoire
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina – Missa Aeterna Christi munera
Ivo Antognini – Jesu dulcis memoria
Arvo Pärt – Sieben Magnificat-Antiphonen
Maurice Duruflé – Quatre motets sur des thèmes grégoriens
Franz Liszt – Pater noster
Jonathan Harvey – Come, Holy Ghost
Edwin Fissinger – Lux aeterna
