Pure Chants II by Gregorian
Pure Chants II is the 2022 album from Gregorian, the German project that sets familiar songs and hymns to choral, chant-like arrangements. This second Pure Chants volume stays soft and unhurried. The theme is calm itself: old melodies reworked into something still, warm, and meditative.
Why listen?
The sound is gentle choral crossover, layered male voices over quiet strings and keys. The production is smooth and spacious, more about mood than drama. The material ranges from hymns to pop standards, all slowed and softened. There is a steady, restful flow rather than a sharp arc across the songs. It is calming music well suited to quiet hours.
Favourite song: Hallelujah
The well-worn Leonard Cohen song reshaped as slow chant, voices rising in soft waves. Its restraint gives the familiar tune fresh weight.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The way the voices fold over each other feels like walking a quiet path at dusk with the light going gold. The song answers a tired day with stillness and calm. That settling quality is what has stayed with me.
Key takeaway
Pure Chants II is a calm, choral crossover record of hymns and songs as gentle chant. A restful, soothing listen.
