Bright Sadness, the Orthodox Christian Rite of Burial
CD Choir of Holy Trinity Cathedral, San Francisco, directed by Robert Parent, Archpriest Stephen Meholick, celebrant
The orthodox rite of Christian burial has remained basically unchanged since the sixth century. It is technically a Matins service that carries a very strong resemblance to the Holy Saturday Matins, reflecting the "bright sadness" that predicts the glorious brilliance of the resurrection of Christ. Gathered around the mortal remains, Christians do not commemorate death; they bear emphatic testimony to their belief in God in whom everyone is alive.

Choir of the Monastery of St. John Eyes of All Look to Thee with Hope
Manton, CA Monastery of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco 2008 CD CD
The CD includes 24 selections from Matins, Divine Liturgy, and two paraliturgical pieces. It represents many of the different styles sung at the monastery, Valaam and Byzantine chant, as well as music specially composed to meet the needs of the community. It is our monastery's vision that a uniquely American chant will gradually develop, growing from the seeds of our inherited traditions. As they take root in American soil, this chant will become an organic hybrid of different influences from our own folk melodies and harmonies, rooted in the traditions of our ancestors and drawing from the springs of the memorable melodies of the Carpatho-Rus and the timeless and other-worldly modalities of western Gregorian chant and it counterpart, Byzantine chant.
