Gregorian Christmas Chants

12.08.2009

I like most of what Gregorian has done on previous works, and I love Christmas music! How could I go wrong? However, I did not really expect to love this so much. It has quickly become one of my favorite Christmas albums. It's the same Gregorian sound, but they added more of what I always thought they needed- more complex vocal arrangement. Ranging from classical to contemporary, GREGORIAN once again bring their unique vocal stylings to 16 of our favorite holiday songs. This is easily their finest album yet, and one I find myself listening to year-round.
Although every track on this album rates very highly in my book, my favorites are still:
Amazing Grace: Simply the most beautiful version of this song I've heard
Pie Jesu: An amazing tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber
Gloria In Exelsis: An awesome vocal arrangemet
Happy Xmas War Is Over: The children's choir adds wonder to this classic
All in all, this is one of the most listenable CD's I've ever owned. Fans
of Mannheim Steamroller and Sarah Brightman will love this CD, as well as
most of Gregorian's other works.
Theres more harmony, more rounds, more of basically everything. If you love Christmas music, you'll love this. JMRL
