From all voices I've heard, I feel French lady singers have a VERY special timbre that is MOST suitable for GREGORGIAN chant.

In terms of "melisms" and "vocalisations" I feel that, unfortunately, there has been a loss of au/oral tradition, and that only collaboration with or listening to other singers (especially those of Constantinopolitan Patriarchal Tradition) will help add the "extra" vocal details that are so "evident" in the inflexions of Gregorian paleographic glyphs.

Thank you for another great addition. The Ensemble Discantusand interpreted this piece wonderfully and the tone of their voice are very warm. By the way, I love your video (the photo is very nice)!

I was in Notre Dame and people were singing in a fashion very similar to this. It's a damn shame I don't know what they were singing, but it was kind of freaking me out because it was incredible being in such a beautiful, old structure with that going on.

Who are these wonderful spirits ? They sing like the heavenly angels fly ..

i've never been a huge fan of church music, but Gregorian chants are beautiful, organum, polyphonic or monophonic. it's haunting and beautiful.

I am at present listening to alot of ensemble music, which is very beautiful acoustically and the harmonious inspire so many creative portals of juiciness to ripen in one's mind,flourish and generate to life to already living vibrant metaphysical life.
