Source of title:

Title based on the following caption from the NFB Photo Story: In monastery corridor, black-robed Benedictines spend long hours in prayer and meditation. Monks of the order, which was founded in the sixth century by Benedict of Nursia, follow a daily fifteen-hour schedule of work and prayer. Their work embraces everything from farming to painting, writing to music. Gregorian Chant, as sung by the monastery choir, represents the results of centuries of Benedictine effort to perfect this ancient form of church music. Their aim is to restore Gregorian "plain-song" to its proper place in the realm of sacred music.
