The Orthodox East has always viewed its earthly
music-making as a living icon of angelic praise,
a physical form of mystical participation in the
ceaseless song of Heaven’s “bodiless powers.”
John Michael Boyer will lead the men of
Cappella Romana in a program of traditional
Byzantine music expressing in song the angels’
mediation between the earthly and the divine,
including chants in Greek for the feasts of the
Archangels, the Annunciation, and Pascha
(Easter) and from the Divine Liturgy.
The ensemble will also perform selections
in English from Cappella Romana’s critically
acclaimed recording, "The Divine Liturgy in
English in Byzantine Chant." |
