  • Description

    Swiss violinist Paul Giger´s interest in ancient cultures, religious history and mysticism led him to study the history and architecture of the Chartres Cathedral in France. Like others, Giger has seen the musical-architectural relationship in the spaces of Chartres, adding up to a „kind of visible Doric scale as used in Gregorian chant“. The recordings were made on two nights around the summer solstice, between one and five in the morning. There are five sections, recorded in different parts of the building and culminating at the „Holy Centre“, representing the traditional passage of pilgrims.
