Synopsis

Product Description

Only in complete silence, one starts to hear.
Only when language resigns, one starts to see.

In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gröning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary
about them. They said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready.

In 2007, the documentary film Into Great Silence came to American theaters. Audiences and critics embraced it immediately. After releasing the soundtrack to the film, Jade Music is proud to release Into Great Silence: Office of the Night.

This is the first time that any recording of the Office of the Night at the Grande Chartreuse is made available in its entirety. The two-CD album is a collection of chants, readings, prayers, and sounds of silence recorded by the film director Philip Gröning during his six-month stay at the monastery.

This Office of the Night appeared to me to be the core of the Monks life and spirituality, the heartbeat of the Order for more than 1000 years. I wanted to share my experience with an audience. - Philip Gröning

CD Reviews

Sound Track of Praise

M. A. Ramos | Florida USA | 04/29/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the soundtack from Philip Groenings film 'Into Great Silence'. It includes Matins - Introduction - Psalm 3, The Beginner Accepts His Robe, Introït - Veni, Et Ostende Nobis Faciem Tuam, Offertory - Super Flumina Babylonis, Vespers - Hymn (Saint Ambrose) - Psalms 144, 145, Pentecost Matins - Venite, a Reading: Exceprt from Saint Ambbrose, Corpus Christi - Canticle of Saint Ambrose..., Matins & Lauds - Psalm 96 - Canticle of the Three Chi and Salve Regina.

These are not remixed nor a sound booth recording studio production. These are taken from the movie of the same name. So if you were blessed enough to see the movie, just close your eyes and you will be back with the Chartusians as you listen. If you were moved by the movie, or aspire to the contemplative life, this is a must have. It allows you to share in a spiritual experience."

Monks rock quietly

Joseph V. Sapp | chelsea, ma | 04/10/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I thought this was only for monastic follwers. I was wrong. Silence rocks, and if you can't keep it down (verbally), you're SO LOST.

We look for perfection in others.They do not find it useful. We are not perfect, we only think we are.

The theater experience was phenominal, totally quiet before, during and after.

You can't go home th same person!!!

See it somewhere, anywhere, whereever you can.

You will never forgive yourself for missing tis.

Gregorian plain chant

R. Ladamus | Ct. USA | 06/10/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Carthusians in their authentic manner have retained the essence of plain chant, without any accompaniment. It is like being with them and seeing how it has been said, that they ae halfway to Heaven !"
