5.0 out of 5 stars Chant, but not Gregorian, February 28, 2003

Few people realize that Gregorian Chant is not the only form of sacred chant that existed in Europe. Of course Byzantine chant was known in Constantinople and her spheres of influence. But even in the Latin west there were several forms of chant, two of which survive to this day: Mozarabic and Ambrosian.
Ambrosian Chant is named after and attributed to Ambrose, bishop of Milan (Italy) in the 4th century. Ambrosian Chant has continued to be the chant proper to the distinct liturgical practices of the Milanese church.
This particular recording presents the sounds of Ambrosian Chant wonderfully. For anyone interested in experiencing the wide range of sacred music traditions that existed in Western Europe, this CD as well as Chant Mozarabe (Mozarbic Chant), should be on your shelf.
