“One of the finest crafted...and innately musical ensembles with which I have had the pleasure to work.”

Quiet your thoughts and put Keeping Christmas in your CD player to enjoy a traditional "Service of Readings and Carols" in the comfort of your own home. Intertwined with the tranquil and beautiful choral music of Gloriae Dei Cantores are readings from Matthew - reverently retelling the story of Christ's birth. This is a glorious way to experience Christmas and includes the beloved "Missa ad Praesepe or Mass of the Cradle," originally written for Westminster Cathedral in London. The CD runs about 70 minutes.
