Description: In Thy Dormition consists of selected chants, performed during the service devoted to celebration of the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God. This feast day is hallowed by the Russian Orthodox church on the 28th of August according to the julian calendar.
The recording is comprised both of ancient Orthodox monastery chants, as well as of part songs by secular composers, written for the church and performed by the Moscow Putinki church choir. It represents an example of how a group of professional and amateur singers are able to lead the listener to understanding of what the prayer for the Orthodox Christian is.
