What a wonderful resource! I enjoyed the short video intro explaining how a database of Latin chants started for academic research has proven useful for art historians, museum curators, choir directors... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMmGrUxhPj4
& examples integrating modern score & words with original spelling & manuscript images. I've bookmarked the new website, https://cantusdatabase.org/

Cantus: A Latin Chant Database
The Cantus Database is a Latin chant database for public and professional use.YouTube
The Omar Metioui Ensemble has recorded a lot of #Maghribi #Sufi music from the medieval era, including this album of #Dhikr and Sama.
I'm not a great fan of #Sufi music, especially the type that involves grunting or snorting. I don't get the purpose. But there's something about this style and this recording that puts me into another place mentally, which is the whole purpose.
On this recording, you can really hear the similarities between this and #Catholic #Gregorian #Chant of the same time period. And... (almost) no grunting.
