Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky)

Description

The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom was set to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1878, his Opus 41, for unaccompanied choir. It consists of fifteen sections, listed below; some of the sections comprise several different parts of the liturgy. The words are attributed to John Chrysostom, a fourth-century church father. John Chrysostom wrote in Greek; somewhere along the line they were translated to Church Slavonic, as used in this work.

Title: Литургіа Святого Iоанна Златоуста (original), which after the linguistic reforms of the early twentieth century would become

Литургиа Святого Иоанна Златоуста (Liturgia Svyatovo Ioanna Zlatousta).
