Buckfast Abbey Choir

The Buckfast Abbey Choir carries centuries of sacred music tradition through the voices of Benedictine monks and choristers at England's historic Buckfast Abbey in Devon. Rooted in the daily rhythms of monastic life, this ensemble preserves Gregorian chant and liturgical works within the abbey's stunning Romanesque church, often recording live during actual services and feast days. Their recent releases like *Christmas Day Mass from Buckfast Abbey* and *First Vespers of the Solemnity of Our Lady of Buckfast* offer listeners a front-pew experience of contemplative chant and Renaissance polyphony, while *Music of Paradise* highlights their dedication to keeping medieval traditions alive. More than performers, the choir embodies a living spiritual practice—their recordings serve as both devotional acts and invitations to experience the timeless acoustics of monastic worship.
