About This Song
About "Rachmaninov: Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Op. 31: VII. The Two-Fold and Following Ektenii" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
The Two-Fold Ektenii unfold like a double helix of prayer and response, the choir trading phrases with solemn precision. Rachmaninov's harmonic language here is a slow, deliberate architecture—each cadence a pillar in a cathedral of sound, both monumental and intimate.
