It's time for my annual "God is with us!" Christmas post. It is one of my favorite musical moments of the liturgical year and, after a listen to a few of these selection, I think you'll understand why.
A Christmas event entitled "God is With Us!"
(AFR) - Fr Joseph Huneycutt welcomes you to St Joseph Orthodox Church, Houston, Texas for this Special AFR Christmas presentation: “God is With Us” by the St Romanos Chorale under the direction of Dr William Attra.
The St Romanos Chorale takes its name from the Syrian religious poet and hymnographer of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, St Romanos, who is considered to be the greatest of the Byzantine melodist-poets. The Chorale is composed of singers from Orthodox Christian churches in the greater Houston area. The music is sung a capella in both Byzantine and Slavonic styles, predominantly in English, but also in Greek, Arabic, and Slavonic. The Chorale has presented beautiful Orthodox Christian music to audiences throughout Texas and neighboring states at venues including major colleges and universities.
The special Christmas performance you are about to hear was recorded on December 10th, 2011, at St Joseph Antiochian Orthodox Church, Houston, Texas.
