Znamenny Chant

~ Release by Aleksei Prokhorov, Andrey Antokhin, Andrey Egorov (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Live recording made in a single session around 2015 at the Church of Our Lady of the Sign in Savvatyevo, Tver Region, Russia. Sung by three voices: Aleksei Prokhorov, Andrey Antokhin and Andrey Egorov, the rector of the church.

The melodic tradition is Pomorian znamenny chant of the Old Believer bespopovtsy; the texts are those of the present-day (post-reform) rite, as the parish is not an Old Rite parish. The ten parts follow the order of the Divine Liturgy. Psalms are numbered after the Septuagint: 102 and 145 correspond to 103 and 146 in Western numbering.

Originally recorded as a teaching document, with no editing or overdubs; first released in 2026.
