Chanticleer: Sound in Spirit. Warner Classics R2 61941.

And I might add, it is also the first Chanticleer recording to sound like a throwback to the 1980's and 90's "New Age" music so beloved of the record-buying public.

The music of the disc dates from the thirteenth century to the present, from chants and liturgical Latin texts to modern compositions written especially for this recording. ...
