THE FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE
Cappella Romana's most in-demand program
Directed by Alexander Lingas

Cappella Romana explores the musical legacy of the ancient civilization of Byzantium--caught between Latin West and Islamic East--with majestic ceremonies for the cathedral of Hagia Sophia, triumphant assertions of superiority by Westerners, and fervent prayers for the healing of religious divisions. Fabled Byzantium ended with the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks on 29 May 1453, inspiring the two poignant laments sung here that give Greek and Latin perspectives on the end of a 1,000-year-old empire. TOTAL TIME: 72:22

LAY ASIDE ALL EARTHLY CARES
Orthodox Choral Works in English
by Father Sergei Glagolev
Cappella Romana conducted by Vladimir Morosan

"The Spirit of the Russian Sound--in English" Destined to be a devotional classic, Cappella Romana's awaited new release features Russian-styled choral works in English by the visionary priest, composer, and teacher Father Sergei Glagolev (b. 1927). These works can be considered seminal in the liturgical repertoire of American Orthodoxy. Drawing upon a variety of stylistic idioms, from Russian znamenny and common chant, to Byzantine chant, to the works of Chesnokov and Gretchaninoff, Fr. Sergei Glagolev creates choral settings that employ the sound and cadence of the English language as their starting point. This recording is made possible by a generous grant from the Virginia H. Farah Foundation.
