The All-Night Vigil is a service unique to Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic churches. It agglomerates the hours of Vespers, Matins, and Prime, and sometimes Compline on important liturgical days, and it has attracted composers from the Orthodox world for centuries. The most famous setting is that by Rachmaninov, but his is by no means the only one. Nevertheless, settings have hitherto been in the Old Church Slavonic language, which adds to the mystery generated by the strikingly low voice ranges of Russian Orthodox church music and by the general unfamiliarity of the liturgy. This English-language setting by Robert Kyr is thus something of a pioneering enterprise. Based on a translation of the texts by Orthodox scholar Ephrem Lash, the text follows exactly those set by Rachmaninov, with the result that the two settings might profitably be heard together; the present work is, in some sense, a response to Rachmaninov's. Some of the theological issues raised by Kyr's work will be of great interest to those versed in the Orthodox faith, and he delves into many of the issues in a booklet note, but listeners of any background cannot help but be struck by the beauty of Cappella Romana's singing, and by the control exerted over the group by conductor Alexander Lingas. The soloists are not powerhouses, but they shouldn't be; they fit seamlessly and skillfully into the texture. The musical language is neither a reproduction of Rachmaninov's nor a more modernist system; it just slightly extends late Romantic harmonies, emphasizing certain text junctures with surprising harmonic shifts. Sample the track "Blessed Are You, O Lord, Teach Me Your Statutes." Cappella Romana once again achieves impressive, detailed sound from the Madeleine Parish in Portland, Oregon. This is something of a landmark recording that libraries should find especially interesting.
