[7], [11] L'Empreinte Digitale ED 13150
Alleluia - Anthologie de la musique sacrée occidentale
This recording is a mixed programme of chant and early polyphony (mostly 12th-13th C) devoted to texts about water and baptism. Topics include (in the order of the recording): streams & running waters (1,2), the first waters (3), the crossing of the Red Sea (4), waters of desolation (5), purifying waters (6), the Baptist (7), the water turned to wine at the wedding of Cana (8), waters of grace (9), and the waters of the river Jordan witness the baptism of Christ (10). The Kyrie (11), the only 14th C composition, was apparently chosen on strictly musical grounds.
