About Introit - Statuit ei Dominus
Meeting of Angels is a collaborative studio album released in 1996 under the Amiata Records label. The recording features sitarist Nishat Khan and the early music vocal ensemble Gilles Binchois, directed by Dominique Vellard. The album explores the fusion of North Indian classical music with medieval European sacred choral traditions.
The third track, Introit – Statuit ei Dominus, runs for 4 minutes and 17 seconds. The composition blends the Gregorian chant Statuit ei Dominus with improvisational elements on the sitar. Khan performs on sitar, while Gilles Binchois provides the vocal ensemble accompaniment. The track exemplifies the album’s cross-cultural integration of raga-based ornamentation and polyphonic choral textures.
The album was issued on compact disc. Production details beyond the label, release year, and primary artists remain undocumented in available sources. No additional session musicians or arrangers are credited in the provided context. The recording date and location are not specified.
