Ecce Fiat - The Annunciation is the first Gregorian chant recording of the monastic choir of Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey.   A beautiful Christmas album!

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a Doctor of the Church, said “Of Mary, there is never enough.” The Benedictines of Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma hold the same opinion. This glorious recording is the first Gregorian chant production of their monastic choir. The theme of these chants is the Annunciation, the encounter of the Virgin of Nazareth with the Archangel Gabriel. This album includes the principle chants which occur in the Divine Office and Holy Mass for the feast of the Annunciation.

The CD comes with a 16-page booklet which has the English translation alongside the Latin.
