Music / Folk music / Church Music

Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil, Bortnyansky's liturgical concertos, the ancient polyphonic hymns of Georgia, the sacred folk chant of Armenian Apostolic tradition, the stark Lutheran chorales of the Baltic churches: sacred music from the post-Soviet world spans more than a millennium of spiritual practice. Music that was suppressed, survived, and came back with its power undiminished.
