This is one of the few CDs of Byzantine Music on the market. Its release was prompted by a large display of Byzantine art at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2004. This captures the mystical, otherworldly spirit of Greek Orthodox ecclesial music at its finest. Although the Byzantine Empire and Eastern Orthodox Christianity are synonymous, the music in this collection reflects the political and ecclesiastical climate of the 1400s when the Byzantine government signed a reunion with the Roman Catholic Church at the repudiated Council of Florence. The songs also contain references to various Emperors and the Fall of Constantionople to the hated Turks in 1453.

The songs:

1) Kontakion ("To you my Champion")
2) Imperial Acclamations for Constantine XI Palaiologos (1449-1453)
3) Kontakion for Theophany
4) Festal Trisagion ("As many of you as have been baptized")
5) Anagrammatismos for Theophany
6) Sticheron Apostichon Idiomelon for St. Basil
7) Kalophonic Coda for St. Basil/A New Addition
8) Kyrie Cunctpotens genitor
9) Kanon in Honor of St. Thomas Aquinas: Ode 1
10) Communion for Mid-Pentecost
11) Lament for the Fall of Constantinople
12) Lamentatio Sanctae Matris Ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae
13) `O great and most sacred Pascha'
