Mozarabic chant is peculiar to the liturgy of the Iberian Peninsula. It occupies a position of prime importance in the history of Western music side by side with other dialects of the Latin liturgical chant which, consisting of a complete specific repertory, is now known as Gregorian and Ambrosian chant.
The chants assembled by Marcel Pérès for this recording were taken from Cisneros's choir books.
"The rich-hued Mozarabic liturgy, peculiar to Iberia and rooted in ancient middle-Eastern and North African traditions, is thrilling." BBC Music Magazine, January 2014 *****
