CD: Early church music of Byzantine, Bulgaria, Georgia and RusThis CD is the Winner of Church music 2004 JPF Music Awards (USA) The CD represent 15 very rare recordings of the Medieval church music, particulary early church music, originating from the singing of levites in ancient Israel. Making its way with Christianity and changing in the light of national features, Eastern Orthodox ( Byzantine) Christian music has begun church music culture of old Rus, Georgia and Bulgaria. We can talk only approximately about the date and authorship of medieval music represented on the disk. John the Damascene, who lived in the 8th century, established church music "oktoechos" (eight tones) — common base of Christian praise and worship vocal music, consisting of eight tonal-melodic systems. The Church attributes the Easter canon authorship to him. Ensemble of the Medieval music Sretenye (Candlemas ) was founded in 1990 in Kharkov, and originally consisted of the three graduates of Kharkov institute of beaux arts, who were joined together by the love to the church Medieval music. This love was not caused by the exotic character of the Medieval music , but by the deeper accordance of Medieval vocal music with a spirit of prayer. Well-known Greek protopsalt L. Angelopoulos gave invaluable help to the ensemble "Sretenye". Not only he supplemented the repertoire of the choir with a number of very rare medieval times canticles, but also, what is the most important, he shared his knowledge of Byzantine singing characteristic features.
