Dalmatica: Chants of the Adriatic is a exploration of the common origins and
close intertwining of early chants through the Croatian tradition for performing
Roman Catholic liturgy with vernacular (old Slavonic and old Croatian)
languages, Glagolitic chant. The female vocalists of Dialogos perform music from
the female monastic tradition and in particular their rendition of a troped
Sanctus from a monastery in Zadar is absolutely mesmeric. The rhapsodic lines
overlap, almost tumbling over each other in a moment of religious ecstasy. The
contrast with the rich, impassioned voices of vocal ensemble Kantaduri in chants
from local Croatian traditions serves only to enhance the beauty of each
devotional tradition.
