This CD represents the three main canonical singing traditions of the
Eastern Church - Byzantine, Georgia and Old Rus, which was the
foundation for further development of not only worship singing but also
classical choral music.
All chants are performed by choristers of the Three Holies Church
conducted by Igor Sakhno, who is one of the greatest expert in ancient
singing and founder of the ancient music
Ensemble Sreteniye.
He studied the secrets of Georgian singing at one of the Georgian
monastery and Byzantine singing at Aphona monastery. During his stay
in Greece, the well-known Greek protopsalt L.Angelopoulos gave him
invaluable help. Not only he supplemented the repertoire of the choir
with a number of very rare ancient chants, but also what is the most
important he shared his knowledge of Byzantine singing characteristic
features.
In 2001 The Three Holies Church Choristers won Grand Prix at Church
choirs festival "Glas Pechersky" in Kiev and in 2002 took part at
Worship Singing Conference in Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
The Three Holies Church in Kharkov is the only Russian Orthodox Church,
where since 1995, only the ancient canonical worship singing is used
for Divine services.
