Pure clear voices. Haunting, soothing medieval melodies. Authentic accompaniment. This CD has them all. It’s a masterpiece among modern adaptations of medieval music. Not that I’m a medieval music expert—I just know a good thing when I hear it.

This music will transport you to the open, echoing acoustics of European cathedrals and the meditative mood found there. Comprised mostly of sacred music composed by the early Christian mystic nun Hildegard von Bingen, the CD takes you through a medieval worship service in a heart-calmingly reflective way. The tones in these chants are similar but endlessly varied.

Anonymous 4 sings on the CD as though they were an entire choir. It’s hard to believe that there are only four women singing—though, as appropriate in this type of music, it’s also hard to separate out their individual voices.

One need not be religious to listen to and appreciate this music, though you will most likely appreciate it more if you are, especially if you’ve enjoyed visiting cathedrals or monasteries. You may not like it if you’re into metal and rap exclusively—this music is for those who want to sink into quiet tones.
