Shining Like the Sun tells the story of one of the most remarkable events of Christ's life: the Lord's appearing in glory to three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John. Shining Like the Sun begins with chants that prophesy the Transfiguration, then moves to chants that vividly describe the dazzling moment of Transfiguration. This recording also includes stirring chants that highlight the promise of one's own spiritual transfiguration. Shining Like the Sun will be a moving experience for those who already love Gregorian chant, and for anyone who is seeking to know Christ and his times more deeply.

Product Reviews for Shining Like the Sun: The Chants of Transfiguration

"The singing of these chants by this professional ensemble is wonderful. The sound of the women's voices is particularly striking because of their light and brilliant timbre."
