Synopsis

Product Description
The Saint Dominic Chapel Girls' Choir, now in its fifth year, consists of young ladies of our parish ranging in age from nine to eighteen who are trained and directed by the Dominican Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ever mindful that to sing is to pray, the girls endeavor to put their whole heart and soul into their song, for the sole intention of praising and glorifying God in the sacred Liturgy of the Catholic Church. Their devoted love of the sacred music and enthusiam for its precise performance have enabled these girls to develop a repertoire of music, from Gregorian chant to polyphonic motets. We hope you will enjoy this recording of some of our favorite Christmastide hymns and carols, and will make it a part of your Christmas traditions. We would like to express our gratitude to The Reverend Francisco Radecki for his time and expertise in recording and producing this CD, and to Mr. Craig Toth for his beautiful and scholarly translations, as well as his contribution of informative background notes on each selection.
 

CD Reviews

WOW -- what a delight!
Mark S. Rigato | New Hudson, MI | 12/14/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"These young ladies are good! They really do sing with the vocal purity of the angels. It's hard to believe they are amateurs. If you like classic, traditional carols and hymns of the beautiful Christmas Season you will LOVE this CD. Check out "The Angel Gabriel" and "Silens Nox" (Silent Night) and "Once in Royal David's City" not to mention the meditative Gregorian pieces. This is a keepsake and a real treasure. I highly recommend it."
Beautiful

"Positively angelic. There is nothing sweeter than the sound of children's voices singing religious music on Christmas, in my opinion. This CD makes you want to cuddle up in front of the fireplace with your loved ones and a hot cup of cocoa. Perfect background music for holiday festivities, as well."
My new favorite Christmas CD

"The Traditions of Christmas by the Saint Dominic Girls' Choir is my new favorite Christmas CD. Christmastide is a special time for music and this music is definitely special. You can hear the love and devotion in the purity of their sound. The choice of selections is perfect-some a cappella, some with organ accompaniment; some beautifully harmonized, others in sweet, strong unison. There are old favorites as well as little heard Gregorian chants. I hope this will be their first recording of many!"
