A Word from His Excellency, Archbishop Keleher

Advance praise for the Chabanel Psalms from His Excellency, Archbishop James Patrick Keleher:

It was with great delight that I came across Jeffrey Mark Ostrowski's special project in which he sets the Psalms to Gregorian Chant. One of the musical losses in the present age of Church Music has been the unfortunate ignorance of Gregorian Chant. This mystical and inspirational music was chanted for centuries in the great Monastic Institutions of the world as the monks proclaimed through the Psalms God's glory in their daily prayer and at the Holy Mass. As a young seminarian and a proud member of the Gregorian Schola Cantorum I still recall how we appreciated its beauty. Mr. Ostrowski's efforts will undoubtedly hasten Its rediscovery. A Gregorian Rennaisance will greatly enhance the Church's Liturgy, adding a dignity that has been too often missed in recent times.
