Good Friday in Jerusalem: Medieval Byzantine Chant from the Holy Sepulchre

The Oregonian Review

Good Friday in Jerusalem

The feeling is profound, devotional and powerful in its simplicity, reflecting the pathos of Good Friday

“Alexander Lingas leads Cappella’s all-male version in stirring performances, anchored by bass drones underneath meditative melody. The feeling is profound, devotional and powerful in its simplicity, reflecting the pathos of Good Friday, the day Christ died. … Holding drone pitches and singing unisons are among the trickiest passages for singers to sustain, yet Cappella navigates these difficulties naturally and gracefully. This is music in their wheelhouse.”
