Chants From the Holyland- Graz Gregorian Chants School of Austri

Chants From the Holyland - Graz Gregorian Chants School of Austria is a distinguished ensemble specializing in the performance of Gregorian chant, drawing on the rich tradition of medieval sacred music. The Graz Gregorian Chant Schola, founded in 1992 in Graz, Austria, is known for its authentic interpretation of Gregorian chant based on the oldest manuscripts from the 10th and 11th centuries. The group consists of a blend of church musicians, musicologists, and theologians who perform chants with a deep respect for their spiritual, liturgical, and aesthetic significance. Their performances often reflect medieval monastic practices, singing with men's, women's, or combined voices to evoke the ancient monastic tradition. The ensemble has toured internationally, including concerts in Israel, Belgium, and the United States, sharing their passion for this resonant and timeless music.

Their recordings, such as "Light of Mary," "Pilgrimage to Dormition of Mary," and "Gregorian Chants for Meditation," showcase their dedication to preserving the purity of Gregorian chant and offering listeners a profound experience of peace and divine connection. The Schola’s approach is grounded in Gregorian semiology, interpreting the original neumes and notation to reconstruct chant melodies as authentically as possible, rather than relying on modern editions. This commitment to historical accuracy and spiritual depth makes the Graz Gregorian Chants School a unique and treasured ambassador of Gregorian chant's heritage.
