Originally, Gregorian was conceived as a more pop-oriented group in the vein of Enigma. Under this concept, they recorded the 1991 album Sadisfaction, with lead vocals provided by The Sisters of Oz: Susana Espelleta (Peterson's wife at the time) and Birgit Freud. However, this was the only album in that style.
In 1998, Peterson and his team Jan-Eric Kohrs, Michael Soltau and Carsten Heusmann re-invented the project to perform popular songs in the Gregorian style. The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. For each album, songs were carefully chosen in addition to original songs written by Jan-Eric Kohrs, Amelia Brightman and Carsten Heussman. Twelve vocalists - previously acclaimed session and choir singers - were then hired to record the tracks.
Each Gregorian album is initially digitally tracked at Nemo Studios, Peterson's Hamburg studio. The vocalists then record their parts in a church atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles, in order to escape what Peterson referred to in a 2001 interview as the "cold and technical" studio atmosphere.
The concept proved to be successful, and the group proceeded to record several more Masters of Chant albums in the same style. Their 2004 album, The Dark Side, was a slight departure from the others, featuring a darker repertoire consistent with the title.
In 2005, The Masterpieces, a compilation album with a live DVD, was released. A fifth Masters of Chant album was released on 31 March 2006. In 2006, a festive album was also released, titled Christmas Chants. A sixth Masters of Chant album was released on 28 September 2007. In 2009 a seventh Masters of Chant album followed.

On 8 September 2010 the next album, titled The Dark Side of Chant, was announced to be published on 15 October 2010.
The members of the Gregorian choir group are Richard Naxton (Naxos), Johnny Clucas (Johnny), Chris Tickner (Chris T.), Richard Collier (Rich), Gerry O'Beirne (Gerry), Lawrence White (Lorro) and Rob Fardell (Rob F.).
Others who contribute to the vocals or sound of Gregorian are Sarah Brightman (under the pseudonyms Hepsibah or Sarah Hellmann), Amelia Brightman (Sarah Brightman's younger sister), Frank Peterson, and staff of Nemo Studio among others.

And you're here in my heart

One true time I hold to
In my life well always go on
Near, far, wherever you are

Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart

And I know that my heart will go on
Well stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.

Мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Каждую ночь в своих снах
Я вижу тебя, я чувствую тебя
Так я знаю, что ты будешь продолжать путь
Далеко через расстояние
И пространства между нами
Ты пришёл , показать, что ты продолжаешь путь
Близко, далеко, где бы ты ни был
Я верю, что сердце продолжает путь
Еще раз ты открыл дверь
И ты здесь в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Любовь может дотронуться до нас только раз
И длиться всю жизнь
И никогда не уходить, пока мы живы.
Любовь была, когда я любила тебя
Один правдивый день, когда я держалась
В моей жизни мы всегда будем продолжать путь
Близко, далеко, где бы ты ни был
Я верю, что сердце продолжает путь
Еще раз ты открыл дверь
И ты здесь в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Ты здесь, мне нечего бояться
И я знаю, что мое сердце будет продолжать путь
Мы навсегда останемся такими
Ты в безопасности в моем сердце
И мое сердце будет продолжать путь.

Lovely! I lost a child in 97 and played this song to connect with my child in the early 2000s. I grieved and nobody understood when I couldn't conceive. Only when going to church, I could connect with my parents and loved ones in meditation and spiritual messages. The only person that didn't judge was my friend Jenny. We understand the spiritual connection. We were Christian spiritualists.

There is not a single hate comment in the section on any of the Gregorian videos, because people who listen to Gregorian are uncappable of hating. There is something about the music also. So soothing.
@laura2372
Old souls prefer this genre of music because we (old souls) have been reincarnated may times and come from through the centuries and experienced many aspects of the human condition. This type of music reminds of us of lifetimes previously lived. This music has a certain maturity and ancient "feel" to it. Like meeting your soulmate that you've known through many incarnations--our hearts go on...and on.
@laura2372
This type of music brings forth a more mature and worldly soul. Heavenly music should have soothing effects not negativity. blessings all.
@danielperdigones2185
@@laura2372 Even if reincarnation exists... how can you know you are reincarnated? Reincarnation means your soul not longer exists in your actual body, but in another body, and surely in another time and maybe in other spaces. Can you say the many times your soul lived other lifes? I will say not.
