Medieval Byzantine Chant. Title: "Communion: Praise the Lord from the Heavens" Service: Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom (IN ENGLISH) Composer: Maistor Ioannes Koukouzeles ** Although I am not very particular to byzantine chant being performed in english (at least from what I have listened to mostly), this performance by Cappella Romana & Ioannes Arvanites is a very nice example of how such a thing is achieved not just properly, but even excellently, especially so in one of the most majestic and difficult communion chants by the great Master of the 15th century, Ioannes Koukouzeles. ~ The whole chant consists of the first verse of Psalm 148: ~ English Praise the Lord from the heavens, Alleluia. ~ Greek Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν, 'Αλληλούια. ~ Latin Laudate Dominum de caelis, Alleluia.
