With two discs of music and a 40-page booklet, this release offers a lot to digest. The booklet, in small print and all in English, contains enough information to fill a modest-sized book if it were issued on its own. What's heard on the two discs is two versions of the Greek Orthodox liturgy "as," to quote the booklet, "a priest and a deacon might celebrate it on an ordinary Sunday." Only a sermon is omitted. The music, all Byzantine chant, is drawn from traditional repertories, and the recording was made in a "natural church acoustic." One way in which the liturgy differs from that of the Western church is that it is in English; the English texts are reproduced in the booklet. The essays cover a good deal of ground that will be of most interest to people directly connected to the music, exploring the history of Byzantine chant at a specialist level (the word "neume," for example, meaning the notational units similar to those in Western chant manuscrips, is not defined), how the chants heard here fit into that history, performance practice issues, questions of translation and text-setting, and the background of the recording itself. Cappella Romana is a group from the U.S. Pacific Northwest that has specialized in the choral music of the Eastern Orthodox realm. The group offers a performance that anyone will find of interest, even if unacquainted with the finer points: listening to Orthodox music in the vernacular is a good way to learn to understand Western chant and the functions of its various types. As in the Gregorian repertory, there are texts recited on a single note, chants that involve multiple groups, and longer pieces featuring compositional elaboration. The end result is that the listener gets an idea of the traditional music in which Eastern Orthodox liturgies are based.
