This recording, made in 1975 with the first generation of Tibetan monks exiled in India, captures the profound Buddhist chanting tradition of the Gyütö monastery. The chant, enriched with harmonics and accompanied by trumpets, drums, and cymbals, demonstrates an impressive vocal technique known as the "tantra voice," which emphasizes the 10th harmonic, producing a deep, resonant sound. This ritualistic chant is rooted in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, which was introduced to Tibet over a thousand years ago and became associated with the Gelukpa order, known for its monastic orthodoxy and political influence. The monks' liturgical practices involve the memorization and recitation of texts dedicated to deities, with this particular recording offering a faithful reproduction of their vocal style. Originally recorded in Dalhousie, India, where the exiled Gyütö monastery reestablished itself, the sound captures the atmosphere of the ceremony, immersing the listener in the experience.
