In Saecula Saeculorum

In Sæcula Sæculórum is a collection of Gregorian chant and polyphony recorded by the seminarians at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska. Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary is the priestly formation seminary in North America for The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP). Originally released in 2012, In Sæcula Sæculórum, is being reissued and released in 2023, under its new recording label and distributor, De Montfort Music/Sophia Music Group.

Selections are drawn from the entire liturgical year, and display the sacred glory and beauty of sacred music. Existing for almost 1,500 years, Gregorian chant emerged under Pope Saint Gregory the Great, for whom the style of music is named. His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI called Gregorian chant a “supreme model of sacred music.”

Through this music, the listener will be able to follow the seminarians throughout the day as they place themselves in the Presence of God asking Him for assistance (Track 1, Deus in adiutórium) and the day ends with a hymn of Mary, the Mother of God, praising her and begging for her maternal protection (Track 22, Salve Regína). The seminary community sings several times, using the ancient Latin chants for the Divine Office and for Holy Mass. Whether in the classroom or in the chapel, Gregorian chant plays an essential role in the traditional formation of future priests at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary.
