Bonum Est: a programme of Gregorian Chant. Epiphany and the great offertories.
In this episode of Bonum Est you will hear several offertories in their original 10th century version. The soloist verses, that make these works so unique, disappeared from the manuscripts in the 12th century and were never reinstated. At the end of the 20th century they were rediscovered one by one.
