On October 27th the Gregorian Christmas album "Christmas Chants" will be released in the US!
World-wide, Gregorian has sold over 3 million albums, there have been countless sold-out tours, and Gregorian has been the receipient of more than 20 Gold and Platinum awards. Gregorian is regarded as one of the most successful musical groups of their genre. After their 1999 debut, Gregorian (The Original) quickly morphed into a genuine brand of contemporary music--often imitated but never duplicated. With "Christmas Chants" , renowed international producer, Frank Peterson, adds to a well-stocked list of releases with a holiday themed album.
The repertoire ranges from pure classical ("Ave Maria") to English traditional Christmas carols, "O, Come All Yes Faithful" and "The First Noel". Contemporary works such as "The Little Drummer Boy" (David Bowie/Bing Crosby) and Cat Steven's classic "Morning Has Broken" reworked as the Christmas song "Child In A Manger" are also included. John Lennon/Yoko Ono's "Happy Xmas (War is Over) and Chris DeBurgh's "A Spaceman Came Traveling are also sure to delight. An original composition by Gregorian founder, Frank Peterson ("Footsteps In The Snow" ) adds a nice dimension of "new" to this collection of beloved holiday favorites. "Christmas Chants" is certain to find its way into your hearts and family holiday traditions for many years to come!
In addition, the 2008 US release "Masters of Chant", until now only exclusively available at bn.com will be available in all US-Stores.
