Gregorian chants at different times of the day 2013
The Gregorian chants of Laudes and Complet originate from the claustral life. They announce the beginning of a new day and tell of the evenfall which the ancient people interpret as a sign of death. The chants are based on age-old devotions, telling of suffering, hope, the search for meaning and the nostalgia of paradise. Mankind’s ancient longing for security is an essential subject in the psalms – a theme which occurs throughout world literature. Remarkably done and ageless in Francesco d'Assisis’ «Cantico del Frate Sole», the final chant of the Laudes with which the Origen singers, the «Cantori», welcome the new day.
