Interesting Facts

Gregorian chant has been the musical heart of Christian worship for over 1400 years, emerging from early monastic life as a sung form of Scripture and prayer. Its steady rhythm and modal melodies promote a sense of peace and spiritual focus. In recent decades, this ancient music has enjoyed renewed interest for its calming and contemplative effect—an antidote to the noise and pace of modern living.

The Hofburg Chapel Schola of Vienna continues a tradition dating back to the Habsburg court, preserving the purity and discipline of this sacred art. The Virtuoso series by Decca and Deutsche Grammophon is known for bringing timeless classical works to new generations through high-quality recordings and accessible presentation.
