Description:
Nóirín Ní Riain is an artist who belongs at the top of every world music fan's list.- Billboard Magazine. Irish soprano Nóirín Ní Riain and the monks of Glenstal Abbey have evoked worldwide acclaim for their authentic performances of Ireland's medieval masterworks and other spiritual song traditions. The Mystical Ireland collection celebrates this thousand-year-old Celtic tradition of spiritual song in three evocative albums of hymns, laments, carols, and prayers reflecting the land's Christian and pagan roots. Recorded live in Glenstal Abbey, the Mystical Ireland collection includes: The Virgin's Lament - An uplifting tribute to women's spiritual songs, Gregorian chants, and more; Vox de Nube - Rare gems of sacred chant, inviting us to link heaven and earth, including Byzantine and harmonic chants, and the songs of Hildegard of Bingen; and The Darkest Midnight - The wonder and mystery of the Nativity brought to life through the seldom heard Christmas song tradition of County Wexford in southeast Ireland.
