Cappella Romana brings to life the music of Arvo Pärt as you’ve never heard it before, presenting the composer’s Orthodox choral works for the first time as an Orthodox Service of Supplication. Built around the singing of a Byzantine poem called a kanon, on this occasion it features three odes from Pärts monumental Kanon Pokajanen (Kanon of Repentance). Compositions by Pärt likewise comprise the other elements of this service: a Gospel reading marks its center (The Woman with the Alabaster Box) complete by psalmody, Orthodox hymns, and fervent prayers. Pärt’s transcendent “Prayer after the Kanon” eventually gives way to silence, to the prayer of the heart.

Cappella Records is proud to present its 30th release: A Byzantine Emperor at King Henry’s Court: Christmas 1400, London, performed by Cappella Romana and led by founder and music director Alexander Lingas.
Experience musical worlds colliding against the backdrop of international politics and war. Go back in time to 1400, when Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, seeking foreign aid for besieged Constantinople, spent Christmas in the court of English King Henry IV.
Under the direction of Alexander Lingas, the same men and women of Cappella Romana who brought you the Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia bestseller (44 weeks on Billboard) bring to life medieval Byzantine and Sarum chant and royal ceremonial performed by two very different historic choirs, one singing in Greek and the other in Latin, as they celebrated the feast of Christmas at London’s Eltham Palace.

Cappella Romana & Alexander Lingas – Robert Kyr: All-Night Vigil (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Time – 01:00:37 minutes | 1,93 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Cappella Romana
Cappella Records proudly announces the world premiere recording of Robert Kyr’s All-Night Vigil, performed by Cappella Romana, and directed by founder and music director Alexander Lingas.
American composer Robert Kyr’s All-Night Vigil takes its formal inspiration from Sergei Rachmaninoff, who in 1915 set the same selections from the Orthodox vigil for the Resurrection. Here Robert Kyr employs an English translation of those selections by the late Archimandrite Ephrem (Lash), to whom this Vigil is dedicated.
Kyr blends Byzantine and Slavic musical traditions with a distinctly personal idiom, granting a fresh approach for those familiar with these texts, and a deeply moving point of entry for those encountering them for the first time.
