Greatness of Our Lord

TTBB Octavo

<p>Alexander Gretchaninoff composed four complete settings of the Divine Liturgy. His first Liturgy, opus 13, dates from 1898 and represents the composer’s first foray into the realm of Orthodox liturgical music. In terms of style it closely follows the model of Tchaikovsky's Liturgy of St. John Chrystostom, composed twenty years earlier.  Like Tchaikovsky before him, Gretchaninoff composes an extended musical setting of the Sunday Communion Hymn, <em>Praise the Lord from the heavens</em>, but instead of resorting to imitative counterpoint, Gretchaninoff relies chiefly on repetition of colorful harmonies to paint an ethereal heavenly vision.</p>

Praise the Name of the Lord

Series

Victor Kalinnikov (1870_1927) was the younger brother of symphonist Vasily Kalinnikov, who died in 1901. After joining the faculty of the prestigious Moscow Synodal School of Church Music, Victor Kalinnikov composed 24 sacred choral settings for the Russian Orthodox All-Night Vigil and Divine Liturgy. Written in a chant-like idiom, these choral miniatures display a sonorous richness that foreshadows Rachmaninoff's monumental All-Night Vigil. In an extraordinary piece of research, Russian scholar Marina Rakhmanova provides detailed biographical and analytical information about this talented composer, whose contributions have never been documented in the musical literature.
