A capella Russian Orthodox music. solos are chanted (sung on one pitch, without a distinct rhythm relating to the chorus harmonic movement). all male—beautiful, deep and rich harmonies. I first encountered this style of singing from a choir operating out of one of the local Russian Orthodox churches in Pittsburgh; this is that done right. very peaceful. it makes me want to convert to Russian orthodox, or at least find a local parish with a good choir. I’d start with 1 or 3, but you really can’t go wrong.

1. gorgeous, beautiful sonorities and harmonies, slow and subtle. nice cadence at the end.
2. prominent chanted solo with interspersed velvet smooth chorus
3. slightly faster moving, nice harmonic movements and the part with solo over the chorus is really nice.
4. shorter song. faster moving
5. chorus-solo-chorus-solo structure.
6. some chant work done by the chorus, along with singing.
7. slow unveiling of some gorgeous harmonic movement
8. faster harmonic movement. shorter song
9. starts with a solo, with another solo in the middle. good chorus parts in between
10. solo-chorus-solo-chorus structure. chorus parts are chant-like.
11. nice counterpoint between a baritone and a tenor (counter-tenor?) with chorus backing
12. chorus (no-solo). good harmonic movement.
