This is the soundtack from Philip Groenings film 'Into Great Silence'. It includes Matins - Introduction - Psalm 3, The Beginner Accepts His Robe, Introït - Veni, Et Ostende Nobis Faciem Tuam, Offertory - Super Flumina Babylonis, Vespers - Hymn (Saint Ambrose) - Psalms 144, 145, Pentecost Matins - Venite, a Reading: Exceprt from Saint Ambbrose, Corpus Christi - Canticle of Saint Ambrose..., Matins & Lauds - Psalm 96 - Canticle of the Three Chi and Salve Regina.

These are not remixed nor a sound booth recording studio production. These are taken from the movie of the same name. So if you were blessed enough to see the movie, just close your eyes and you will be back with the Chartusians as you listen. If you were moved by the movie, or aspire to the contemplative life, this is a must have. It allows you to share in a spiritual experience.

The Carthusians in their authentic manner have retained the essence of plain chant, without any accompaniment. It is like being with them and seeing how it has been said, that they ae halfway to Heaven !

Ok, see the movie reviews for more details but if you don't have the time for 3 hours of blessed quiet, try this soundtrack which contains most of the spoken/chanted prayer portions from the movie. You can play it in the car on the way to work or whenever you need a bit of stress relief and know that these faith filled monks are praying for all of us around the world.
