Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The album Chant, recorded by the Benedictine monks of the small Spanish monastery, Santo Domingo de Silos, is one of the biggest recording hits of the year., . Here, to accompany and explain the phenomenon of such worldwide appreciation of the medieval music, recording artist Le Mee discusses Gregorian chant itself and suggests some astute, if unproven, theories about why this music is so compelling; about why this previously esoteric form of devotional music has so taken the Western world by storm; and about what there is about the present historical moment that has made this recording by little-known monks so powerful and so accessible. Perhaps more significantly, she gives us some fascinating tools by which to fashion our own answers to these questions, as well as an important resource for listeners curious about this extraordinary music. BOMC Quality Paperback Club alternative selection.

Review
"Gregorian Chant has suddenly become America's newest pop-music phenomenon."
Time
"What we're talking about is inner peace, transcendence, a serenity, beyond mortal care. For a generation that frowns on organized religious movements (or organized anything), this is, without a doubt, the new soul music."
The San Francisco Examiner
"Not since the Singing Nun went gold in 1963 has there been such a clerical chartbuster as Chant."
People
"Gregorian Chant is the original mystical minimalism .... In addition to comprising glorious sounds, pure and simple, it represents the beginning of Western music as it has come down to us."
The New York Times
"Gregorian Chant is ... intensely, ecstatically contemplative."
The Washington Post
