A virtuosic program of 14th- and 15th-century
musical works that bears witness to the co-existence and conflict
between Greek and Western Christian cultures in the Eastern
Mediterranean during the twilight years of Byzantium. This
is the same program
presented on tour in 2004 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York, Yale University, Princeton University, the Bloomington Early
Music Festival (Indiana), the Holy Trinity Cultural Series in
Indianapolis, St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine (CA), and at
the Getty Museum in Los Angeles for its exhibit "Byzantium and the
West."

 "Byzantium
in Rome"
Recorded for New CD
January,
2005--Portland, Ore. Following two successful concerts
of "Byzantium in Rome" in Portland and Seattle, Cappella Romana and
virtuoso chanter and scholar Ioannis Arvanitis from Athens, Greece
recorded the program for a future CD release.
These majestic
chants for cathedrals and monasteries from the Eastern-Rite monastery
of Grottaferrata (Kryptoferrë), near Rome, were recorded at St. Mary's
Cathedral in Portland. The work during cold weather and late nights
culminated on Friday, January 14, with the final session and a long
visit to the the pub afterwards!
This is the
second recording by Cappella Romana produced by
multiple-Grammy award winner Steve Barnett (e.g.
Chanticleer, Dale Warland Singers). Robert
Gwynn was the engineer.
This recording was made
possible thanks to a generous grant from the A. G. Leventis
Foundation. |
