Description:

Long-awaited reissue of Cistercian Music! The previously released “Cistercian Songs: Gregorian Chants” (CHE01462), “Bernard of Clairvaux (c.1090-1153): Medieval Music of the Cistercian Order” (CHR77301), and “Invisible: Songs of the Cistercian Nuns” (CHR77430) are now available in a three-disc set. The Cistercians (Cistercians or Bernardines), one of the Catholic orders born at the end of the 11th century, strictly observing the precepts of St. Benedict and eschewing ornate sculpture and decoration, spread throughout Europe, leaving behind great architecture and liturgical music.
