Also known as Frälsarorden, the Birgittine Order is the only one with Scandinavian origins. Saint Birgitta (ca 1303-1373) and her collaborator and confessor, Petrus Olavi of Skänninge, laid it's foundations in Rome, in the 1350s. Birgitta had moved there in 1349, and remained in that city for the rest of her life. After the first Birgittine abbey opened in Vadstena in 1384, the order rapidly spread across Europe. The chants on this recording are from the Birgittine Abbey, Maria Refugie in Uden, The Netherlands and this is the first time that chants from the rich collection in Maria Refugie have been recorded. It is also the first recording of the Birgittine repertoire from sources dating after the Middle Ages. The ensemble has selected 37 chants that reflect the musical and textual richness of Cantus sororum. The material spans more than 400 years, yet forms a coherent repertoire that belongs to the Gregorian chant tradition in all important aspects, with a Birgittine twist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Trinum Deum \u003cbr\u003e1.2 O Trinitatis \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Maria Summe \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Omnia Mandata \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Regem Angelorum \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Angeli, Archangeli \u003cbr\u003e1.7 In Throno Deo \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Angelorum Domina \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Magnificetur Rex \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Filium Dei \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Benedictus Sis Tu \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Omnem Potestatem \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Victum Vitalem \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Ortum Virginis \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Solem Justicie \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Nativitas Gloriose \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Nativitatem Recolamus \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Ave Maria \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Congratulamini Filio Deo \u003cbr\u003e1.20 O Admirabile Commercium \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Benedicamus Devotis Mentibus \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Germinavit Radix Jesse \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Regem Virginis \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Benedictum Sit Nomen \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Spineo Serto \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Tremor Terre \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Annuntietur in Universa \u003cbr\u003e1.28 In Honorem Virginis \u003cbr\u003e1.29 Que Est Ista \u003cbr\u003e1.30 Assumpta Est Maria \u003cbr\u003e1.31 Que Est Ista \u003cbr\u003e1.32 Maria Virgo Assumpta \u003cbr\u003e1.33 Ad Coronam Leticie \u003cbr\u003e1.34 Jam Letaris \u003cbr\u003e1.35 O Quam Glorifica \u003cbr\u003e1.36 Maria, Maria \u003cbr\u003e1.37 Cum Iocundate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
