Reddit reviews Chant Music For The Soul

The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos have a classic album called Chant.

If you don't mind a cleaner, more professional sound, the group Chanticleer released a fantastic album of chants called Mysteria.

Some people enjoy the chant albums created by the group Ensemble Organum. They are high quality but not for everyone.

Another excellent album done by professionals (as opposed to monks) is 12th Century Monophonic Chant by Paul Hillier / Theatre of Voices.

For an authentic chant sound, recorded in a monastery, check out Salve Regina by the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice and Saint Maur, Clervaux. On Amazon it's listed under the generic artist name "Benedictine Monks."

If you're looking for propers, a good one is Alberto Turco's Adorate Deum / Gregorian Chant from the Proper of the Mass.

Another good chant album that contains a couple of Masses, including the sublime Missa de Angelis, is a 3 CD set sold on Amazon.

One more. Chant - Music for Paradise (also known as Music for the Soul) is very good. The antiphon for In Paradisum, the first track, brings me to tears.

You can find a lot of these on YouTube.

We tend to use Gregorian Chants this disc is really good. We've also used stuff like The DaVinci Code Soundtrack, or the Soundtrack to 1492 that kind of thing

I'm personally working on getting Wardruna (Traditional Norwegian music, very cool) into the rotation

We have a guy with a Bluetooth speaker and his phone who handles the music and have it going whenever there is no one talking (both degrees and regular meetings) like when visitors are entering, waiting for someone to enter, perambulation, balloting etc. that type of thing
