INTRO: The sublime choral music of the Russian Orthodox church:
it floats you on a harmonic cloud of sound that can only be called
"heavenly." It's a tradition that extends back for over a thousand
years in Russia and central Asia. And it became a life-changing
experience for the late English composer JOHN TAVENER, who
converted to the Orthodox faith and wrote many sacred works
influenced by its theology and traditions.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we mark the Christian
holiday of Easter with another musical tapestry from our longtime
guest producer for sacred and classical spacemusic ELLEN HOLMES,
on a program called IKON OF LIGHT.
