This is unreal timing! I was just looking for this thread when the notification popped up. That's absolutely awesome.

Anyhow, I wanted to share this. It's Cappella Romana newest album called "Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia". I'll post a better description from their website, and the links below.


Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia is the first vocal album in the world to be recorded entirely in live virtual acoustics. It brings together art history, music history, performance, and technology to re-create medieval sacred sound in the cathedral of Hagia Sophia as an aural virtual reality.

With a stunning reverberation time of over 11 seconds, the acoustics of Hagia Sophia were measured and analyzed, and auralized in real-time on Cappella Romana’s performance by the Icons of Sound team at Stanford University (iconsofsound.stanford.edu).

Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia presents more than 75 minutes of medieval Byzantine chant for the Feast of the Holy Cross in Constantinople, one of the greatest celebrations in the yearly cycle of worship at Hagia Sophia. This deluxe package (CD and Blu-rayTM) contains standard- and high-resolution stereo and surround-sound formats including Dolby Atmos™, as well as a bonus track and a 24-minute documentary film.

Enrich your experience of the music with in-depth essays, musical examples, and illustrations about the project in a 40-page booklet, which also presents all original Greek texts with translations in English. For a thousand years, Hagia Sophia was the largest enclosed space in the world. Let Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia transport you back in time to medieval sound and ritual in this monumental sixth-century cathedral.

Recorded at CCRMA, Stanford University. Stereo version mixed & mastered at Perfect Record, St. Paul, Minn. Surround-sound version mixed & mastered at Skywalker Sound, a Lucasfilm Ltd. Company, Marin County, California.

The small paraklesis has to be one of my favorite hymns/prayers/services. I absolutely fell in love with it during the Dormition Fast back in August and I listen to it not-infrequently nowadays. It’s just so beautiful and it shows me how much Our Lady loves us sinners and how she prays and intercedes for us. As prayers to the saints are still new to me, most of the time my prayers to them are along the lines of a simple “St Jerome pray for us”, not a pour-out-your-heart-to-this-person, but the Paraklesis service is one exception to that. I could prostrate and kneel in front of an icon of the Theotokos and pray the Paraklesis and everything just feels right

Just had another experience tonight that made me pray/listen to part of this, and wanted to share it on this thread!
