Sheehan: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom / Saint Tikhon Choir [CD + Blu-Ray Audio]
A 2021 GRAMMY Nominee for Best Choral Performance!
** Physical package includes CD and Pure-Audio Blu-Ray with high-resolution and surround formats, and video selections of the world premiere concert and complete liturgical performance. **
Benedict Sheehanâs landmark setting of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom in English grows out of the tradition of the great Russian liturgy settings by Rachmaninoff, Gretchaninoff, and Tchaikovsky. Reminiscent of medieval Eastern chant, minimalism, American folk singing, and the high tradition of Western church music, it is also hailed by Metropolitan Tikhon of the Orthodox Church in America as âa new milestone for Orthodoxy in America.â
Sheehanâs sweeping and virtuosic a cappella Liturgy represents a fresh and vibrant voice for choral music today.
The Saint Tikhon Choir was founded in 2015 by Benedict Sheehan, the groupâs artistic director, and Abbot Sergius of St. Tikhonâs Monastery. It is the first professional vocal ensemble connected with an Orthodox monastery in America, founded with a mission to foster and build up the American Orthodox choral tradition at the highest artistic level.
ABOUT THE RECORDING
Sheehanâs Liturgy is the first of four planned releases on Cappella Records produced by multi-GRAMMYÂź Award winner Blanton Alspaugh and the engineering team at Soundmirror. Soundmirrorâs outstanding orchestral, solo, opera, and chamber recordings have received more than 100 GRAMMYÂź nominations and awards, with releases on every major classical label.
This is also the first release of The Saint Tikhon Choir on Cappella Records. The Choir recently recorded a collaboration on Naxos with three other choirs and the Orchestra of St. Lukeâs conducted by Leonard Slatkin, which debuted at #1 on Billboard. They also previously recorded the sacred works of Benedict Sheehan for Saint Tikhonâs Monastery Press.
The 2-disc deluxe set features both CD and PureAudio Blu-rayâą media with high-resolution 2.0 Stereo and 5.0 Surround versions (DSM192K/24bit), recorded in DSD and downloadable to audio servers and devices. The Blu-rayâą also contains three video performances: two concert selections from the world premiĂšre performance and the complete liturgical premiĂšre sung at St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral in Washington, DC. The accompanying booklet provides an extensive essay by the composer, the full text of the Divine Liturgy, and beautiful photography.
