Here, under one cover, are 72 beautiful and contemplative settings by the three major contemporary composers in this genre: Keith Duke, Geoffrey Nobes and Margaret Rizza.

Many of these chants consist of a short text set to music which is sung repeatedly, so that those singing or listening can enter into the meaning of the words calmly and without hurry.

Other chants adopt a verse and refrain pattern. They are all intended to be as flexible in use as possible, to enhance and complement your worship.
