For music is something universal; and when it springs from what lies deepest in man, all men can find in it vestiges of the true, the good and the beautiful. The selections chosen for this recording are a case in point, for these melodies are the expression of an experience that lies beyond East and West. In their present form, they are representative of what is best in the chant tradition of Western Europe; and yet, with few exceptions, they have their taproots in the liturgies of Eastern Christendom.
