Notes & Reviews:

This recording presents liturgical music from the Divine Office for annual celebrations of Charlemagne's feast day on January 28, the anniversary of his death in 814. The Divine Office is a ritual that is distinct from the mass; whereas the mass commemorates the last Passover meal of Jesus and his disciples as described in the New Testament (commonly called the Last Supper), the Office is related to the Jewish tradition of collective praying and psalm singing. The CD presents a liturgical reconstruction of the services of Vespers and Compline as they might have been heard in Aachen's collegiate church on Saturday, January 27, 1582.
