In the tradition of the Slavic Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine
Catholic Churches, composer Roman Hurko's works of sacred choral
music are original settings of The Divine Liturgy of St. John
Chrysostom, as well as Vespers and the Panachyda Requiem.
Mr. Hurko's work is faithful to these profound and centuries old
Byzantine rite texts. The directness and simplicity of his byzantine rite sacred music
gives prominence to the prayers.
