An international community of young seminarians that includes some of today's most skilled and committed singers of early choral music–presents ancient Christmas melodies anew, on the album SANCTA NOX: Christmas Matins from Bavaria, released by the Billboard Classical Chart-topping Label - De Montfort Music.

"Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul," said the Greek 

philosopher Plato. For centuries to come, perhaps no music would do better to fill the early sentiments expressed by Plato than that of the most solemn moments before midnight called Matins. The text of Christmas Eve Matins, as set to music, has served as one of the most expressive means for preparing for the Nativity. Reflected in SANCTA NOX: Christmas Matins from Bavaria, the Gregorian Chant, accented by the polyphonic harmonies, help to transmit a peaceful reality into the highest art.
