Like the CD Gregorian Chant from Medieval Hungary - 3 - Holy Week (Liturgica.com catalog number AG033), this recording is devoted to a single theme, Easter Sunday. Some are variant melodies of familiar chants, notably the propers of the Easter Mass. Others are unique or no longer found in modern editions, including a different sequence than is usually heard. Notable is an early, unadorned form of the Easter play that followed the last responsory of Matins. Two selections of primitive polyphony are included, and a song (cantio) in Magyar is sung at the end of the brief play.

By: Fr. Jerome Weber

Again the chants are divided among men, women and children according to the formal sense of the pieces. The singing is consistently beautiful. So many of these chants are no longer found in modern editions that this collection will be interesting even as an addition to another Easter disc.
