Chant of the Cistercians

The Chant of the Cistercians is a form of Gregorian chant used by the Cistercian monastic community for their religious worship. It's characterized by a meditative, flowing style of singing Latin prayers and psalms, intended to foster silence, reflection, and spiritual focus. The chant emphasizes simplicity and purity, avoiding elaborate melodies to maintain a contemplative atmosphere. Its serene, unadorned sound reflects the Cistercians' values of austerity and devotion, aiming to elevate the mind toward divine contemplation through music.
