Chants

This is a recording by the Benedictine Nuns of Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation. Beautiful music from behind closed doors...

"The Nuns are part of an ancient order which dates back to the 6th Century. They continue the tradition of leading a hidden life, literally behind closed doors. To remain 'secluded' to the outside world, any visitors, even family, must communicate with the sisters through a grill. Once vows have been taken to live in the Convent, the sisters remain there until their death."
