	Fontfroide Abbey
		Fontfroide Abbey in Languedoc in South West France was founded in 1093 as a Benedictine Abbey, and joined the Cistercians in 1145.
		An ex-Abbot of Fontfroide became Pope in 1334 - Benedict XII aka Jacques Fournier (1280 - 1334 - 1342 (62)) took over at a time when the monastic orders were falling apart and amongst other things he had a reform of the Cistercian Order enacted.
		The abbey suffered commendatory abbots from 1476, though in the later 1500s a formal system was instituted for ensuring that the abbot did not plunder all the income, so that there was enough left to "support the living standards" of the by then 7 monks.

		Fontfroide was founded as a Benedictine house in 1093 and attached to the Cistercian Order in 1145/6.
		However, four large stone fragments (two in imported white marble) found on excavation in July 1993 are thought to be part of this structure: archaeological traces in the cloister suggest its original location.
		Because of a drainage problem at Fontfroide today, a team was formed to investigate possible solutions; the author is the archaeological advisor.

		"The ensemble of men's voices sets their tempos by the requirements of the reverberant acoustics, yielding a solemnity quite in keeping with Trappist spirituality...Lest there be any doubt, the sound produced at the former monastery of Fontfroide is stunning."
		The recording was made in the magnificent Abbey church of Fontfroide, with its clean yet fully resonant acoustics.
		Indeed, the singers claim to have based their interpretation largely upon the effects of this resonance, which enriches the sound, enhancing the overtones, supplying the singers with some justification - quite apart from modal considerations - for emphasizing the structural notes of each piece."
