Mitschnitte aus der Liturgiefeier opens the acoustic world of Marienstatt Cistercian Abbey. Two solemnities structure its course: the celebration of Bernard, the father of the order, and the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary. Antiphons, psalms, responsories and hymns follow the inner dramaturgy of Vespers and further liturgical rites.
Gregorian chant, improvised organ music and ringing bells form a dense portrait of monastic life. The recording preserves moments of procession, silence and shared devotion in their immediate presence, making the abbey’s distinctive atmosphere tangible.
