    Between the early Middle Ages and the thirteenth century, the great abbeys were key artistic centres, the focus of intensive musical creation. From Santiago de Compostela to Saint-Denis, from Royaumont to Fontevraud by way of Mont Saint-Michel, the walls of these imposing edifices echoed to the finest voices in the medieval West, in the service of the original sung repertory of the Roman Church: Gregorian chant. This anthology is an invitation to explore eight centuries of sacred music as it was celebrated in such monastic houses.
