Description

A fusion of Christian gregorian chants and pop music. Gregorian is a German band (not real monks), headed by Frank Peterson, which performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment, the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant but it's a nice fusion of both styles. True Gregorian chant is a Christian religious music (Catholic) sung in Latin with only voices and no music.

The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. After the songs were chosen, twelve vocalists were hired. The vocalists then record their parts in a church atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles, in order to escape what Peterson referred to in a 2001 interview as the "cold and technical" studio atmosphere.

The present song is from the album Masters of Chant Chapter III.
