cistercian monks - chant music for paradise

The product of a religious talent contest, The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz perform sacred chants and psalms with a variety of settings from the scriptures. Taking in traditional Gregorian chant in a modern and aesthetically sparing style, these men of the cloth aim to relax and de-stress the listener with their soothing voices. Maintaining a public face of complete religiosity, the monks who appear on 'Chant' refuse any press attention and don't perform in any traditional public arenas apart from their own monastery.
