Russian Choral Masterpieces 合唱

拉尔夫-艾尔伍德精选了为东正教会创作的圣歌和其他合唱曲，灵感来自俄罗斯教会。部分由于前苏联教会的重新崛起，近年来人们对英国圣公会和其他西方基督教传统之外的基督教音乐源泉的兴趣急剧增长。虽然这里介绍的作品可能不太熟悉，但它们都是大师级的作品。这套作品集旨在吸引不同水平的合唱团，其中包括用于葬礼仪式的 "Kontakion and Ikos"、俄罗斯伟大浪漫派的圣歌： 柴可夫斯基、拉赫玛尼诺夫、格雷恰尼诺夫以及当代作曲家的作品： 斯特拉文斯基、施尼特克或阿尔沃-帕特为东正教以外的传统作曲，以及约翰-塔文纳用俄语和英语创作的 "主祷文"

原文简介:
An original and exciting collection of anthems and other choral pieces written for the Orthodox Church and inspired by the Church in Russia, selected by Ralph Allwood. Partly because of the re-emergence of the Church in the former Soviet Union, interest in Christian musical sources alternative to the great body of the Anglican and other Western Christian traditions has grown sharply in recent years. Though the works presented here may be unfamiliar, they are all masterly. Designed to appeal to choirs of various levels, the collection includes a “Kontakion and Ikos” for the funeral service, anthems by Great Russian Romantics: Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Grechaninov; and composers from our age: Stravinsky, Schnittke, or Arvo Part speaking for a tradition outside the Orthodox Church, as well as settings of the “Lord's Prayer” in both Russian and English by John Tavener.
