Album lore

Tibetan Chants for World Peace, released by White Swan Records in 2008, presents a quartet of ritual pieces performed by the Gyuto Monks Tantric Choir. This ensemble, rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, employs throat singing as a vehicle for devotional intonation. The album’s four tracks—Mandala Offering, Praising the Deity, Blessing the Offerings, and Great Sacred Music—are drawn from liturgical practices intended to invoke peace and spiritual harmony.Recorded with austerity befitting its religious function, the chants resonate with the deep harmonic overtones characteristic of Tibetan monastic performance. The featured track, Praising the Deity, exemplifies the choir’s skill in sustaining complex vocal drones that ripple beneath melodic flourishes. Though modest in audience, this artifact serves as a sonic document of Tibetan cultural expression and a point of interest for collectors attuned to throat singing and Buddhist ritual music.
