Chant (Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos album)

Common card · No. 448513

Chant is a compilation album of Gregorian chant, performed by The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos in Spain. The performances were recorded perhaps as early as the 1970s, either in the province of Burgos or in Madrid, the Spanish capital. The music did not sell significantly until it was re-released by Angel Records in 1994 when it was marketed as an antidote to the stress of modern life. Chant is the best-selling album of Gregorian chant ever released. It peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 music chart, and was certified as double platinum, meaning two million copies were sold in the United States and four million worldwide.
