The Cistercians were dedicated to restoring piety and dignity to monastic life and one area that attracted their attention was liturgical chant. The 12th-century Cistercians were determined to recover the purity of Roman chant and initiated reforms that would leave an indelible impression on the face of liturgical music. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performed by Ensemble Organum Marcel Pérès, artistic director Website: https://organumcirma.com/ http://www.harmoniamundi.com/ #!/albums/143
