I. Chant—Missa Latina (Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz/Vox Gotica)/ Obsculta Music CD OM 0002.
"Chant - Missa Latina" is a tribute to the sung Latin Mass on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the opening of the Second Vatican Council 50 years ago – hence the golden cover. The CD is meant to promote the forgotten mandate of the Second Vatican Council, „that the faithful may also be able to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them“. (Sacrosanctum Concilium, No. 54) Since the CD includes all the chants of the Holy Mass in the „ordinary“ rite, from the Introit to the “Ite Missa est”, it can also be used as a kind of "practice CD" for the active participation in the liturgy. Some common hymns, such as "Veni Creator Spiritus", "Adoro Te Devote" and "Pange lingua" are also included.
"Chant - Missa Latina" shows the spiritual depth of the Holy Mass in the Latin rite, which manifests itself in the artistic perfection of its musical expressions – as well as in its multifacetedness: the chants of the Mass Ordinary are featured both in unison Gregorian chant (Missa de Angelis) and in a fascinating polyphonic setting by the late Gothic composer Guillaume Dufay.
