“How Do I Use Gregorio? How Do I Use GABC?”

Splendid! A 2013 Recording By Cistercian Nuns

“I have listened to the CD with great enjoyment. When listening to the Cistercian Nuns of Saint Mary’s Abbey, one realizes that they do not just sing at prayer or sing their prayers: their very singing is prayer, according to the axiom, Those who sing well, pray twice.” — Quote from a listener.

— Fr. George Rutler (7 August 2017)
