It is hard to believe that in 1994 when the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos released an album of Gregorian chant, my little league baseball coach played it for us. He was a former bull-pen catcher for the Boston Red Sox and truly reached heroic status for our team (hitting homers from both sides of the plate @ 350 yards!). When he started playing chant though, we were a bit skeptical...until we started hearing it everywhere. St. John Paul II had been Pope for nearly 16 years!
I still love this chant, and had memorized the whole album by the time I was 12.
