The Divine Liturgy Of St. John Chrysostom
Greek Liturgy was written in 2016 at the request of Dr. Peter Jermihov, who will conduct these NW premiere performances. Commissioned by Dr. Jermihov’s Society of St. Romanos in Chicago, Moody’s work strives to align his compositional gifts with the chant traditions that have come before.
He writes “If we treat the Church’s chant traditions as a life-giving spring, we can find the courage to work with them, to become co-creators; they are not there to imprison us or to be endlessly reproduced with no understanding. And in finding that courage we can become contribute to the rich and varied beauty of liturgical art, aiming always to glorify God.”
