The Divine Liturgy of John Chrysostom

Employing the official English translation of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, this 2-disc set presents the complete service (ἀκολουθία) of the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom. Litanies and prayers pertaining to the entire Eucharistic assembly are rendered in full. The hymns and responses represent the central traditions of Byzantine chanting, including works adapted from Petros Peloponnesios, Nileus Kamarados, and St John Koukouzelis. Musical scores for the chants on this recording are available in Byzantine and Western (staff) notation through www.cappellaromana.org.

Cappella Romana is a vocal ensemble dedicated to the musical traditions of the Christian East and West, whose name refers to the medieval Greek concept of the Roman oikoumene (inhabited world), which embraced Rome and Western Europe, as well as the Byzantine Empire of Constantinople ("New Rome") and its Slavic commonwealth.

This recording was made possible by major grants from the Virginia H Farah Foundation, the AG Leventis Foundation, the Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius, and the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians (USA).
