Product Description:

The 12-voice male vocal ensemble Chanticleer presents a new liturgical drama by Sir John Tavener, award-winning British composer whose haunting choral works have won global acclaim. Written specifically for Chanticleer, Tavener's "Lamentations and Praises" takes its inspiration from the ancient sounds of Greek and Russian Orthodox ecclesiastical music. Its scoring calls for the familiar - timpani, strings, and bass trombone - as well as the exotic: Byzantine monastery bell, Tibetan temple bowl, and simantron (a large wooden sounding board struck with a hammer). Tavener describes his new piece as a series of ikonic images "linked by a corridor of music."
