Well, okay, Brede isn't a real place, but if you want to get a sense of what Dame Cecily was singing, go to NPR for samples of Ancient Music Revived at the Lune Convent. Three selections are available; don't miss the Choral Music for Palm Sunday: 'Miserere' down at the bottom of the page. Wonderful! Okay, and this: Palestrina: 'Kyrie' from Missa Papae Marcelli (Choir of Westminster Abbey). Sublime! One more: Bach's Mass In B Minor: A Cathedral In Sound. Enjoy!
5/18/09 - I found another style of chant music on an album in English: To St. Xenia of Petersburg, Two Canons and a Canticle. Check out 'God is the Lord.'
