PGM 1177 'DIVINE LIGHT' : mar.30-apr. 6

1177

The sublime tradition of Russian Orthodox sacred choral music begins with ancient Byzantine chants and comes to full magnificence with the influence of Western classical music. In the great mixed choirs, ethereal and earthly sonorities magically combine with images of radiant light and extended prayers of fervent supplication, transporting the listener to realms beyond worldly cares. 

On this Easter season transmission of HEARTS of SPACE from longtime guest producer for sacred and classical music ELLEN HOLMES — a program called DIVINE LIGHT.

Music is by RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, KALINNIKOV, CHESNOKOV, SVIRIDOV, NIKOLAEV-STROUMSKY, KETCHAKHMAZDE, ARVO PÄRT, OLA GJEILO, KJARTAN SVEINSSON, TERJE RYPDAL, and the monks of CHEVETOGNE ABBEY in Belgium.
