The Benedictine nuns of the Abbey of Our Lady of the Annunciation, located Barroux in the Vaucluse, won an international competition of female voices interpreting Gregorian chants and organized from 70 convents in Europe, the United States and Africa. "We did not run after it hit us," said the Very Reverence Mother Placide Devillers.
"At first we were afraid it might jeopardize our cloistered life. We talked to St. Joseph in our prayers and they were answered. We thought that this album might be a good thing if it affects people in their lives and helps them find peace, "she says in a statement label Decca.
Registration in the convent chapel
To respect the privacy of sisters, the contract was awarded and signed by a representative of Decca and nuns through a grid of wooden bars separating the nuns from the outside world.
"I put the contract through the grid. They have signed and I have made, "says CEO of Decca Records, Dickon Stainer.
The sisters can not get out of their convent, the songs have been recorded in their chapel, the sound being transmitted to the Decca studios. The engineers were allowed to enter the convent, to install equipment, after the sisters were isolated in other parts, said a spokesman for Decca.
The religious songs are experiencing a renewed interest in music, as evidenced in particular the worldwide success enjoyed by the Cistercian monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz, Austria, which sold over a million copies of their album
