Bonum Est: a programme on Gregorian Chant. Christian Mantras 4: the Psalms.
In the 58th episode of Bonum Est you will hear a selection of the recited Psalms that were sung and are being sung on a daily basis in the monasteries. You will not only hear monks but also musicians.
Only one Psalm contains multiple voices, most of them in Latin and a few in Hebrew. Measured to the time spent on psalm singing, it may as well be called Christian prayer in particular.
