The Orthodox Divine Liturgy: Master Bless!

This CD presents the Orthodox Divine Liturgy in its richest, most majestic form--when a bishop serves. The resplendent singing of the mixed choir alternates with angelic trios and the sonorous singing of the clergy choir. Where appropriate, the congregation joins in with joyful refrains of antiphonal psalmody. Featuring 33 hymns and chants, the CD includes new and recently composed works by modern-day Orthodox composers; Maia Aprahamian, Roman Hurko, Ivan Moody, and Alexander Ruggieri, as well as settings by such Orthodox masters as Chesnokov, Gardner, Gretchaninoff, Karam, Kastalsky, Nikolsky, and Rachmaninoff.
