Mainstream publisher offering chant CDs this Christmas
According to its recent e-letter, the Oregon Catholic Press is featuring a selection of chant CDs in their Advent/Christmas bill of fare.
Among the offerings are two CD's recorded by the monks of Solesmes under the direction of Dom Jean Claire, and a recording of the Gloria Dei Cantores Schola, directed by Richard Pugsley. Included on these CD's are Gregorian Chant Mass settings, Propers from the Graduale, and Gregorian chant hymns, etc.
OCP marketing copy reads: "As the opening tones of the first introit begin to resound, you can't but feel a sense of awe - for the beauty of the chant, for this centuries-long tradition, for the mystery of the Incarnation."
Imagine the implications of a similar sales pitch used all year long.
