May the union of the Latin and Greek churches come.

there is an original Knights Templar song found in Jerusalem. but the singing is much more Western Roman. but there is not the same liveliness as in Byzantine chants. you can tell the one who wrote it lived a hard rough life. you can feel it in the song.

Does anyone have the words to this chant?

This music resonates with a part of me that cannot be explained in mortal tongues.

Beneventan chant had some points in common with Ambrosian/Milanese.

Hopefully one day, the Vatican can approve the use of the Beneventan Rite again in the Church

Great video. Heavenly music. I like how the background voices sound of horns. This takes me to a state where my awareness of God is increased greatly. Thanks for putting this up.

This is a good example of breathing with both lungs.

Benevento had always considered itself relatively independent.
