The one used here is from the middle of the 12th century. It is the oldest musical manuscript for the use of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. It was here that the order of the Temple established the foundations of their spirituality. Marcel Pérès and Ensemble Organum have recorded a good number of marvellous discs of early music but 'Le chant des Templiers' album remains as one of their iconic marks in classical music.'Crucem sanctam' have a stronger feeling of a regular pulse than many chants, reflecting the physical, almost dance-like motions that conductor Marcel Pérès describes as being an integral part of the original performance of this repertoire. ---- This chant was performed by CIRMA/ Ensemble Organum Artistic director: Marcel Pérès Website: Buy 'The Chant of the Templar' Album from Amazon: #TemplarChant #EnsembleOrganum #CrucemSanctam Latin Text: ---- Crucem sanctam subiit, qui infernum confregit, accinctus est potentia, surrexit die tertia. Alleluia. Lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedeficantes factus est caput anguli, alleluia.
