About
Inside the walls of Chartres, listeners must not be shocked if they fail to find written life and miracles, as spiritual benefits that bestow daily. Chartres boasts the largest number of musical representations with 26 different instruments, 312 images of music .
For the members of the Divine Holy Office, the purposes of chant music were not only for praise and adoration, but also times to reflection.
The musical rhythm was fixed in between readings (psalms), short melodies (antiphons and hymns), and long, elaborated responses.
"Blessed is the homeland which knows nothing but joy, for its citizens unceasingly sing praise"
