Harmonizations of various existing melodies

"The original purpose of this recording was to help members of The Orthodox Community of the Holy Apostles in Central Lancashire to learn the new music that I had collected and arranged for regular use in our Divine Liturgy services. Many of my Orthodox friends from across the country came together for only one day to practise and record this music. This is the first fruits of our labours and is hopefully the first of many recordings. The surplus from sales of this tape will go towards our community’s church building fund. We are presently searching for a suitable permanent site. To purchase a copy of the written music to accompany this recording please contact Gregory Baker."
