Sretensky Monastery Choir

The Sretensky Monastery Choir is the male choir of the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow, a house founded in 1397 and re-established as a working monastery in the mid-1990s. Its singers are trained musicians rather than monks, drawn from the conservatories and seminaries of Moscow. The choir sings the monastery's own services and has accompanied the Patriarch of Moscow at liturgies in Russia and abroad. Beside the Orthodox repertoire it also sings Russian, Ukrainian and Cossack song.

Calum Martin

Precentor in the Free Church of Scotland on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, and a bearer of Gaelic psalm singing. The precentor gives out the line and the congregation answers unaccompanied, each voice finding its own way through the tune. This is Reformed congregational worship first of all, and the sound it makes is what carries beyond it.
