This unique disc, a selection of the most hauntingly beautiful and moving Gregorian chants for the Feasts of the Cross, was inspired by the mood of the Lithuanian Hill of Crosses. The deeply impressive scene was erected as a monument against religious oppression under Communist rule and has served to inspire many with its great beauty. Graces & Voices draw on the spiritual power of the place to feed a spring of beauty in Gregorian chant that will both soothe and inspire.
