This collection features Medieval Byzantine Chant composed for 8th- and 9th-century commemorations of Great and Holy Friday in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre by some of Jerusalem's great Church Fathers: Patriarch Sophronios, Kosmas the Melodist, and St. John Damascene. This never-before heard music from Jerusalem opens a window into an ancient world.
