by the Boston Byzantine Choir, Saint Mary's Orthodox Church, Cambridge, Mass.
Byzantine Orthodox chant in English: A recording by the famed Boston Byzantine Choir directed by Charles Marge. It is a classic and traditional rendering of the greatest celebration of Orthodoxy Holy Week.
-Simply Beautiful!
THY PASSION brings
the listener the most important and beautiful moments of Holy Week from
the morning of Lazarus Saturday to the evening of Holy Friday. From the
celebration of Palm Sunday to the depth of anguish on Holy Friday the
Boston Byzantine Choir celebrates the Passion of Christ as a refined
liturgical drama told in the tones and hymns of the most ancient
Christian church yet understandable to English speakers.
THY PASSION contains many well-known Orthodox hymns. But now these hymns are rendered for the first time in a traditional manner yet in English. English speaking Orthodox Christians and others who love the simple ageless beauty of Orthodox chant will delight in this sensitively rendered wonderful new recording.
On this CD, Boston Byzantine Choir continues their work of recording traditional Byzantine chant in English. This selection of hymns begins with Lazarus Saturday (the Saturday preceding Palm Sunday) and continues through Holy and Great Friday.
The recording includes well known Holy Week hymns such as the "Troparion for Lazarus Saturday," "Behold the Bridegroom," "Thy Bridal Chamber," and the "Lamentations." It also features some new and unique offerings such as "Rejoice, O Bethany" (a hymn for Palm Sunday from Palestine), "Out of the Mouths of Babes," and the rendition of the "Hymn of Kassiani."

About the Boston Byzantine Choir, St. Mary's Orthodox Church, Cambridge, Mass:
Since its inception in 1993 by Charles R. Marge, the Boston Byzantine Choir has endeavored to make Byzantine chant and the Orthodox Christian faith accessible to the English-speaking world. The choir grew out of the rich chanting tradition of St. Mary's Orthodox Church with The Very Rev. Antony Hughes, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The choir has sung at universities, parishes and music festivals throughout New England.
Praise for the Boston Byzantine Choir:
Whenever the Boston Byzantine Choir membership, under the masterful guidance of Maestro Charles Marge, produces a CD of God-inspired hymns, we are anointed with yet another taste of spiritual fragrance, as the liturgical prayer so confirms. This fifth CD offering...of Lenten hymns is a collage of spiritually acoustical hymns on the 'Pilgrimage to Pascha,' as Fr. Alexander Schmemann, of blessed memory, so proclaimed.
