Take ye the Body of Christ (Bulgarian chant)		The Three Holies Church in Kharkov is the only Russian Orthodox Church, where since 1995, only the ancient canonical church singing is used for Divine services. This CD represents the three main canonical worship singing traditions of Eastern Church - Byzantine, Georgia and Old Rus, which was the foundation for further development of not only church singing but also classical choral music. All chants are performed by the Three Holies Church choir conducted by Igor Sakhno, who is one of the greatest expert in ancient singing and founder of the ensemble of medieval music “SRETENYE” He studied the secrets of Georgian church 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 an-cient chants, but also what is the most important he shared his knowledge of Byzantine singing characteristic features. In 2001 The Three Holies Church Choir won Grand Prix at Church choirs festival "Glas Pechersky" in Kiev and in 2002 took part at Worship Singing Conference in Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. read more and hear this album
