A breathtaking presentation of Medieval Byzantine Chant sung from manuscripts produced at the Abbey of Grottaferrata in the suburban hills of Rome, which has operated continuously in the Byzantine rite since its founding in 1004, fifty years before the Great Schism. This presentation also bears unique witness to music sung in Constantinople before the Crusader sack of 1204.
