I can not tell you how long I have enjoyed Gregorian chants. I loved the Easter liturgy services because of the Gregorian Chants, when I was growing up. I can only tell you how stupid I was not to search out recordings of Gregorian Chants to listen to. That changed a couple of years ago. By chance, I was in Barnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ and happened upon a CD of Gregorian Chants Salve Regina by the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint Maurice and Saint Maur, Clervaux http://www.amazon.com/Salve-Regina-Gregorian-Chant/dp/B0000040ZC.
I have really enjoyed that CD.
Last fall, I obtained another CD: Gregorian Melodies, Popular Chants.
Most recently, I obtained The Gregorian Book of Silos.
I really enjoy listening to Gregorian Chants.
I frequently play these CDs when I am computering. But I also play them when I am reading. I do not play them when I am doing housework. When I am doing housework, I need vigorous, rapid paced music to help me to be active.
But, I use the Gregorian chants to help me to be calm, soothe my soul, and in general help me to relax and refresh.
