ALMA MATER, Music from the Vatican

Cover Art of the Recording

I've been listening to the digital recording of ALMA MATER, Music from the Vatican. It features popular and well-loved Marian Hymns such as Sancta Dei Genetrix, Mater Ecclesiae, Advocata Nostra, Benedicta Tu, Causa Nostrae Laetitiae, Auxilium Christianorum, Regina Coeli and Magistra Nostra with the orchestration of Christus Vincit at the finale.

It's so heavenly. Very beautiful. So soothing to the heart, the mind and the entire soul. I highly recommend it. Much more it is helpful for prayers and meditation and mental relaxation. It is indeed a masterpiece combining the benefits of modern technology and the ancient musical treasures of the Church. It is further enriched by the melodious voice of His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI together with the magnificent Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This music is simply breathtaking.
