A collection of hymns to the Virgin Mary, sung in English. The majority of the hymnody is Byzantine, although there are other chant forms represented, including Znamenny, Kievan, Georgian, and two contemporary arrangements.

By: B. Williams

This is a very nice collection of hymns to the Theotokos, although not a traditional performance. It is highly accessible due to being in English, and because of the variety of chant forms included it serves as a very good introduction to the variety of chant in the Eastern Church. A very broad offering of hymns to the Virgin from many traditions makes it unique. The voices are good, the recording is clear and of quite good quality.
