The Divine Liturgy is the most sacred worship service of the Armenian Church. Founded by two of Christ's disciples, Thaddeus and Bartholomew, the Armenian Church is the keeper of ancient apostolic traditions passed down orally through the centuries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the chants of the Divine Liturgy were harmonized in two major choral settings. The revered Armenian churchman, folklorist and composer Fr. Komitas wrote the choral setting presented in this recording on the eve of the Armenian Genocide, to which he fell victim, adding to the poignancy of this work. Now thanks to the Flora Family Foundation (U.S.A.), we have the opportunity to hear the men of the award-winning Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia present an authentic rendition of this timeless masterpiece of Armenian music and sacred tradition. The production supervision and the promotion, which will cover the whole world's leading universities, conservatories, music colleges, international organizations, agencies is done by Kultur Aktiv e.V. from Germany.
