Gregorian - немецкий музыкальный коллектив, исполняющий знаменитые поп- и рок-композиции в стиле, похожем на грегорианские песнопения.
Хотя сам стиль музыки значительно отличается от настоящих грегорианских песнопений, коллектив всячески поддерживает антураж средневековых монахов. В частности, все песни исполняются хором из 10 человек, а на концертах вокалисты выступают в монашеских сутанах.
В противоположность грегорианским песнопениям, хор выступает с внушительным музыкальным сопровождением, включающим гитару (в зависимости от композиции - электрическую или акустическую), барабаны, клавишные инструменты. Имеет место и компьютерная обработка музыки с помощью специальных эффектов. На концертах Gregorian выступают в стиле, присущем рок-группам, в частности, исполняют композиции "вживую", заводят публику.
With over 3 million records sold, countless sold-out tours and more than twenty gold and platinum awards, Gregorian are regarded as one of the most successful musical groups of their genre.
After their 1999 debut "Masters Of Chant", the ten monks quickly became a big name on the contemporary pop scene – often copied, but never equalled. With "Gregorian: Christmas Chants", the Hamburg producer Frank Peterson adds a fascinating new chapter to the singing monks' successful collection, which has already won numerous gold and platinum awards. Their repertoire includes pure classic music ("Ave Maria"), English traditionals ("O Come All Ye Faithful", "The First Nowell"), the "Little Drummer Boy" (Bing Crosby/David Bowie), Andrew Lloyd Webber ("Pie Jesu"), "Child In A Manger" (which was made famous by Cat Stevens as "Morning Has Broken"), and modern writers. John Lennon's "Happy Xmas" is also included, as are Chris De Burgh's "A Spaceman Came Travelling".
The musical interpretation is more classical than the previous Gregorian albums. The result is a relaxed, flowing vibe that is perfect for leisurely moments between church, unwrapping presents and Christmas dinner – including some nice surprises. "Happy Xmas" is an attractive meeting between the Gregorian monks and a children's choir. Only two musicians will accompany Gregorian on their Advent Tour of German churches, since no more are needed to support these moving voices live. The final concert will be three days before Christmas Eve.
