Immerse yourself in the timeless and sacred sounds of "Defunts-Dedicaces," a captivating album by Traditionnel, released on January 1, 2008, under Universal Music Division Decca Records France. This exquisite collection of religious choral music spans a rich duration of 1 hour and 13 minutes, offering a profound exploration of the human spirit and divine connection.
The album is a meticulously curated journey through various liturgical pieces, each track a testament to the enduring power of traditional music.

Highlighted by iconic works such as "Requiem," "Dies iræ," and "Locus iste," the album showcases the intricate harmonies and profound lyrics that have resonated through centuries. The inclusion of pieces like "Vor Deinen Thron" (Before Thy Throne), though slightly modified, adds a unique touch to the collection, blending familiar and lesser-known compositions into a cohesive whole.
"Defunts-Dedicaces" is not just an album; it's an experience. The genre-defying, axé-infused arrangements breathe new life into these ancient pieces, making them accessible and compelling to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether you're seeking solace, inspiration, or simply a moment of reflection, this album offers a sanctuary of sound that transcends time and space.
