Schola Hungarica

Description:

This is a collection of liturgical chants related to the veneration of the Holy Cross, which has had a major impact on the entire history of music. Chants in praise of the Holy Cross are found in the older liturgies of the Eastern Orthodox Church and first appeared in Western Europe during the Good Friday rites. This album is like a cross-section of the history of liturgical chant, with chants in both monophonic and polyphonic styles from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance. Tokyo M-Plus
