This disc assembles selections from recordings made from 1980 to 1996, arranged in the order of the liturgical year.

The selection mixes some of the most familiar chants with other less well-known chants.

This is a well-filled disc, but the original issues provide a more complete presentation of each liturgical observance. Anyone who intends to collect a fair representation of these superb discs might better choose the originals. The sung texts and translations are printed in the booklet, as they are on all Paraclete issues.
