EXCLUSIVE: Cassian Folsom of Norcia Monks on 'Benedicta' LP, Gregorian Chant and Home Brews
It seems, for lack of a better word, unconventional for an album of religious chants to take the number one spot on Billboard's Classical Traditional Chart in its first week of release.

As I sit down to move these wrinkled hands on the piano, I try to decide what music to select. The living room is overflowing with dusty boxes filled with music: piano, vocal, organ, church, wedding, popular, art songs and more. One of my earliest memories was my mother playing "Red Sails in the Sunset." I sat near the pedal in wonderment. It was during the Great Depression; a Steinway was a luxury. For my mother, it was a necessity. And so, I grew up knowing that a piano in the home was essential for happiness, solace and discipline.
