INTRO: In a world of seemingly endless conflict and strife, when
the social fabric is being stretched and tattered, the pure,
innocent sound of the boys choir arrives on the cold winter air
as an audible balm for the soul. For choral singing is not only a
venerable religious tradition: in the sound of massed voices, we
experience an inspiring example of human harmony, cooperation,
and generosity.
The Mass of the Eastern Orthodox church is a particularly rich
source of this nourishment, and though the music for unaccompanied
voices has liturgical roots, so universal is the sound that you
don't have to understand a word to appreciate it. The Welsh
music critic and novelist PAUL GRIFFITHS put it beautifully,
"Melodies in these songs are traces dissolving in
the waters of eternity, [an eternity] implied by
harmonies that sound like reverberations...
This is harmony seeking silence."
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...we dive deep into the
choral ocean, on a program called SACRED SONGS.
