The Poor Clare Sisters Arundel are a contemplative religious community based in Arundel, West Sussex, England. Adhering to the ancient Order of Saint Clare, they embrace a life of prayer and solitude, following the Franciscan tradition. Their rise in public consciousness, however, has been an unconventional one for a monastic community, coming through their foray into music which blends their sacred chants with contemporary production to reach a broader audience.
Stepping into the spotlight with "Light for the World," released in 2020, the sisters showcased an ethereal blend of their traditional Gregorian chants with ambient sounds—a genre that often reaches listeners seeking solace and spiritual nourishment. Their recent releases, structured around the seasons and their respective qualities, provide a meditative soundscape that invites reflection and peace. Through albums like these, the sisters share their sacred tradition with the world, offering a tranquil refuge from the chaos of modern life and aiming to touch the hearts of believers and non-believers alike through the universal language of music.
