Description

Through the Cross came our Salvation. We are constantly reminded that Christ died for us, and
that He rose from the dead.

The Patriarchal cross is a variant of the Christian cross, the universal religious symbol of Christianity. Similar to the familiar Latin cross, the Patriarchal cross possesses a smaller crossbar placed above the main one, so that both crossbars are near the top. Sometimes the patriarchal cross has a short, slanted crosspiece near its foot (as in this Cross). This slanted, lower crosspiece often appears in Byzantine Greek and Eastern European iconography, as well as Eastern Orthodox churches.

The slanted bottom bar is the footrest. There is some question of
whether it was actually on the Cross of Christ, but it is acknowledged
to be a necessary attribute of the Cross, worthy of veneration and
prophetically alluded to in the words [Let us] worship the footstool of
His feet... (Ps. 98:5).
In prayers for the Ninth Hour, the Church likens the Cross to a type
of balance of righteousness:
"Between two thieves Thy Cross did prove to be a balance of righteousness: wherefore one
of them was dragged down to Hades by the weight of his blasphemy whereas the other was
lightened of his transgressions unto the comprehension of theology. O Christ God, glory to
Thee."

Although this collection intends to transport the soul, it has a tremendously potent low-end depth to it that earns high marks indeed in the worlds of vocal and liturgical music. Dmitri Bortniansky's "Hymn of the Cherubim" is performed with a gracefulness that gets a warming fatness from the production, as does Alexander Gretchaninov's "I Have Chosen the Blissful," which travels with a ringing resonance. In a year of fine choral works--check out Sequentia's Hildegard cycle box, 900 Years or Arvo Pärt's Kanon Pokajanen for a "something old, something new" mix--this collection is highly valued for its sonic integrity and its excellent anthological mix. --Andrew Bartlett

Words cannot describe poignantly enough the exquisite, angelic voices that permeate the heart and exalt the soul on Sacred Treasures. The most highly regarded Russian and Bulgarian choirs sing the hymns of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Lvovski, and other composers in the Russian Orthodox Church's tradition of "Divine Worship" (worship through chant). From the first tolling bells that open the CD with a willowy, floating piece from Rachmaninov's Liturgy of St. John, to the final bells closing the door on "Hymn of the Cherubim" (Grigory Lvovski), this CD creates a gentle, distinctly Byzantine glory. The rhythms slowly wisp along while the choirs' baritones, tenors, and sopranos mesh into one expansive blessing. Meant to comprehensively gather not all Russian liturgical pieces but rather hymns that emote an inner tranquility and celestial grace, Sacred Treasures plays like a piece of heaven on Earth. --Karen Karleski

Description

Vocal music has always constituted an integral part of religious cults of all nations. Yet scarcely ever have there been stronger ties between the chant and the prayer then in the Orthodox liturgy. In the Orthodox liturgical chant, one can find both the splendor of the Byzantium Church ceremonies and the nostalgia of small wooden churches; on the one hand world of ecstasy and on the other lament of the biggest sinner. The tremendously strong impression that the 'Orthodox singing' makes on listeners can be ascribed to its duality: it is very simple in its vocal devices, yet enchantingly elaborate in its effects. Among its means of expression there is simple recitation as well as master like polyphony of vocal concertos. Even today this music remains a genuine mystical experience, a touching art of profound and powerful expression. Al these elements add up to create the unique marvel of the Orthodox Church music which, thanks to its diversity, finds the way to every heart.
