Now That's What I Call Chant!
Just on a whim, today I'm going to list (in no particular order) pieces of liturgical/sacred music which I absolutely love to hear in plainsong/Gregorian chant. If anyone knows of a place where I can get a hold of recordings of these, please let me know!
The Merbecke setting of the mass (preferably with organ accompaniment)
Asperges me Domine (I really love the way Mary Mag's did it in Oxford, in English trad lang, with organ)
Vidi Aquam (as above)
Final anthems to the BVM (Alma Redemptoris Mater, Ave Regina Caelorum, Regina Caeli, Salve Regina - for some reason I'd prefer to have these in Latin, and I'm not quite so fussed about the organ accompaniment, though this version of the Salve Regina is quite beautiful)
The Advent Prose (in English, prefer not to have any accompaniment)
The Lent Prose (as above)
The Advent anthems - you know, those ones that use the verses of Veni Emmanuel. LSM did these at Advent but I haven't encountered them since.
Any leads for recordings would be muchly appreciated!
