David Foster OSB, and the Byzantine choir &#8220;Psalterion&#8221; from Greece, under the direction of maestro Mr. Christos Vattis, performed hymns of the Resurrection of the Lord and of the Divine Liturgy.<\/p>\n<p>The audience, among them more than 30 ambassadors to the Holy See, enjoyed a true Easter program. As in the Bible every apparition of the Risen Lord is told as an encounter, so one could enjoy the encounter of two different musical traditions: the Gregorian and the Byzantine, the Western and the Eastern. It was an attempt to make audible the idea that these traditions, as different as they are, speak of the same mystery. It is the same God they glorify. And yet, its expressions are very different: polyphonic\/monophonic, in different tonalities, with different kinds of voices. It seemed almost as if one needed different ears in each case.<\/p>\n<p>The high point of the evening was the \u201cHagios ho Theos, Sanctus Deus,\u201d in which both <em>scholas<\/em> sang their own parts in their respective languages in one and the same piece of liturgical music.<\/p>\n<p>The program was sponsored by Sant\u2019Anselmo Abbey and its Prior, Mauritius Wilde OSB, and the Greek Embassy to the Holy See, with her Excellency, Mrs. Aikaterini Katia Georgiou.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The schola of Benedictine monks of Sant&#8217;Anselmo and the Byzantine choir &#8220;Psalterion&#8221; from Greece performed hymns of the Resurrection of the Lord and of the Divine Liturgy.
