Wonderful! Just purchased from I-Tunes.
Yes the music really reaches heavenward - interesting to read one comment on You Tube where it appears:-
'So beautiful, I don't know about God but Catholics make such beautiful music.'
Non-Catholics still associate Gregorian chant with us and when films want to give us a Catholic atmosphere, Gregorian chant pops up again. And yet how many Catholics actually hear it each week? If the writer of the comment had attended a typical Sunday Mass
with perhaps the Clapping Gloria and various modern hymns would he have used the same words 'Catholics make such beautiful music? I don't think so.
