Post Description

In Russian Orthodox ceremony, the accepted rite is that compiled by St. John Chrysostom (344-407) which is written and sung in "Old," or "Church," Slavonic. As with its Latin counterpart in the Western church, the mass, the St. John Liturgy provides opportunites for fresh settings by professional composers for use in the Russian Orthodox Church. Pyotr Tchaikovsky's turn came in 1878.
