Live a Longer and More Peaceful Life With Chant - Music For The Soul

CD Available Digitally on iTunes June 10th and In-Stores July 1st on Decca

NEW YORK, June 10 -- Already a runaway hit overseas, Chant
- Music For The Soul debuted at #9 on the UK pop chart, alongside Madonna
and Duffy, and bested the likes of Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis. Not
surprising given our hectic lifestyle, Chant - Music For The Soul is a
much-needed growing phenomenon, featuring traditional chant from the 12th
and 13th centuries. In the on-going quest for spiritual bliss, the CD is a
must-have, and arguably the most peaceful listening experience imaginable.
On June 10th, Chant - Music for the Soul will be available digitally on
iTunes, followed by a physical in-store release on July 1st.

Chant is the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief -- the perfect
antidote to our fast-moving modern world. It has proven to heal, calm and
also give strength; its power is timeless. Dr. Alan Watkins, Senior
Lecturer in Neuroscience at Imperial College London states, "the musical
structure of chanting can have a significant and positive physiological
impact ... studies also demonstrate that such practices have been shown to
lower blood pressure, increase levels of the performance hormone DHEA as
well as reducing anxiety and depression."

Chant - Music for the Soul was born in an unexpected way. Earlier this
year, Universal Classics & Jazz in the UK placed ads in various religious
publications encouraging various choral groups to submit demos for
consideration for a major recording contract. Word reached the monks of the
Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz in Vienna, who applied via a clip they
had posted on YouTube. With their rich and evocative sound The Monks were
the easy favorites. Billboard recently reported, "It's a pretty safe bet
that very few of Universal Music's recent signings count Pope Benedict XVI
among their fans. But the pontiff is a definite admirer of the latest boys
in the hood(s) to sign globally to Universal Classics."

"When the Monks sing, the chant opens our hearts. We hope it purifies
our souls and helps us regain clarity, light, strength and peace. Where
there is chaos, we seek to restore order. Where there is emptiness, we try
and find meaning. And where there is sadness, joy can return." -- The
Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz.

Brittany Murphy - Brittany Murphy Not Fired


LATEST: BRITTANY MURPHY quit Disney movie TINKER BELL, bosses at the studio claim.

It was reported the actress was ditched from her role providing the voice of the animated fairy, and replaced by 19-year-old Mae Whitman.

But Disney executives say Murphy left the project because of scheduling problems.

A representative tells OK! magazine, "When John Lasseter came on board, the schedule changed, and the new schedule didn't work for her."
