Subcollection: ChoirThis is the first CD of the «Hymns of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev» anthology performed by the choir of the Kiev Theological schools.
The solemn chants of the Laura are a living witness to the old tradition of singing. They are distinguished by inner power and beauty of music and have particular features of their own, such as a vividly expressed melodism and flexible musical fabric.
These hymns are performed on a very professional level and give the listeners an opportunity to get acquainted with the treasure-trove of the culture of liturgical singing of the Laura.
You will hear the selected hymns of the All-Night Vigil, stanza, troparion and exaltation to Ss Fathers of the Caves and also music without words - the ringing of bells of the Great Belfry of the Laura and the Belfry of the Near Caves.
Colour booklet (8 pages) in Russian and English on the history of singing of the Laura of the Caves in Kiev. |

The Nativity of Christ is one of the greatest Christian feasts, which announces the great mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God - the Saviour of the world. The angelic hymn «Glory to God in the highestľ» resounds with a particular solemnity. Other hymns are also imbued with festive exultation.
Recorded in the second part of the CD are carols - old folk songs, which are traditionally sung at Christmastide with the wishes of riches, well being and good health. Carols, which are characterized by the naive simplicity of words, the warm and heartfelt music, are becoming increasingly popular.
Colour booklet (16 pages) in Russian and English with a narration on the Nativity of Christ. |

Subcollection: ChoirOn the eve of Great Saturday, which is also called the blessed Sabbath, the office of the burial of the Saviour is celebrated, which begins with the troparions «The Noble Joseph», «When Thou didst descend…» and «The Myrrh-Bearing Women». After that «The Evlogitaria» are sung before the Shroud, which has been brought into the middle of the church from the sanctuary. Special verses are read which express the grief and awe of the Christian soul before the God-Man.
The Divine Liturgy is celebrated after Vespers on Saturday morning. Its hymns call people to think about the time from the death of Christ on the Cross and His burial to His Resurrection from the dead. «Let all mortal flesh keep silence», sung in place of the Cherubic hymn, reminds us of the redemptive act of the Saviour. Equally moving and beautiful are «Weep not for Me, O Mother» and «The Thrice-Holy» accompanied by bell-ringing.
The monastic choir sings these hymns in Byzantine, Znamenny, Valaam, Bulgarian and Greek chants with deep feeling, restraint and grief, as befits Lent.

The monastic life and heroism of the spirit are likened to the way of the Cross in both sense of responsibility and difficulty. The hymns of the CD as if show the landmarks on this innermost way: the call to monastic life (Ringing of the bells), the taking of monastic vows («Open Thy fatherly embrace» and the Cherubic hymn), repentance and temperance in monastic life (Penitential verses), and the end of monastic deeds and earthly life (stanza for the burial of monks and «May your memory be eternal»).
The hymns, which resound with austerity, introduce the listener to the mystical realm of the monks" life, as their works and deeds are hidden form an outsider"s eye.

Mark Williams leads the Choir of the Jesus College Cambridge through an evocative selection of choral works inspired in varying ways by the songs of Solomon.
Songs of love have been written from the earliest records of human existence. None are more passionately ecstatic than the Song of Solomon, which occupies a unique place in the Holy Bible in both style and content. It contains lyric poems of love and courtship, as might have been sung at Jewish weddings. For Christians, these poems speak to the beauty of the union of Christ and his ‘bride’, the Church. The present collection presents a diverse group of choral works written between the 16th century and the present day, with most inspired by this unique sacred text. |
