Greek Orthodox Funeral for a Priest_Choir of Saint Sophia Greek Cathedral London

[Theodora2208]

Yes it is unusual for a Greek Orthodox church but this is a particular tradition of the Cathedral in London which drew much influence from the surrounding Russian Embassy Chapel in the 18th century. The melody itself is Byzantine, while the arrangement yes has a slavonic slant to it. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Sounds like Slavic Orthodox chant..... unusual for Greek Orthodox, but beautiful all the same!

Indeed. He was a very good man who you could see actually walked in the heavenlies before he even got there.
