Editorial Reviews
This exhilarating and top-selling recording of sacred choral music represents the pioneering musical and pastoral work of Father Sergei Glagolev (b. 1927) to use English in Orthodox services. Hear the spirit of the Russian choral tradition in English. The CD booklet features an important essay on liturgical composition by Father Sergei as well as complete texts of the musical selections. Listeners will hear Father Sergei's mellifluous voice singing the priest's lines on this CD in perfect balance with the inspiring voices of Cappella Romana. Conducting the ensemble on this occasion was Dr. Vladimir Morosan, one of America's most important authorities on Orthodox music in the Slavic tradition. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Cappella Romana made its European debut in March 2004 at the Byzantine Festival in London, where the ensemble performed to over 2,000 in St. Paul's Cathedral. Its New York debut took place in April 2004 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the exhibit Byzantium: Faith and Power 1261-1557.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wellspring of joy,
By Lawrence Brewer (Roanoke, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lay Aside All Earthly Cares: Orthodox Choral Works in English (Audio CD)
With Eastern themes and music in the English language, this recording will inspire you regardless of Christian affiliation- Orthodox, Catholic, or, like me, Protestant. It is a reminder that our musical worship is not limited to only an organ, nor do we have to depend on the same old hymnbook in order to praise the Lord. Cappella Romana's beautiful sound displays the richness and beauty of an ancient and hallowed tradition in language that is accessible to everyone today. I simply cannot recommend it highly enough.

This review is from: Lay Aside All Earthly Cares: Orthodox Choral Works in English (Audio CD)
I thought the product had beautiful music, however it lacked the melodies I happen to be used to. I did enjoy it nonetheless, and would buy it again. Very peaceful music that can definitely bring ones attention back to God after a busy day at work or play. Highly recommended.
