Chants from Heaven - The Silence of the Angels

From the bright river banks of a Greek island to the dark ghettoes of Aleppo, from the high plains of Ethiopia overlooking Africa to the burning solitude of the Egyptian desert, from the hermitages on Mount Athos, suspended between heaven and earth, to the ice-locked monasteries of the far North of Russia, from Cairo to Athens, Moscow and Paris the chants of the Orthodox Christians echo as if in call and response across the continents. The Silence of the Angels follows the historical path of orthodox Christianity through the chants and ritesof the Orthodox church on a voyage that brings us back to the deepest roots of our culture.
