Specifically, while it includes one CD with an anthology of more recent Russian composers, it includes two examples of Russian music that predates the "big sound" of the last two centuries. The first of these is a recording of early Russian polyphony, the second an example of 17th century Greco-Russian chant. Finally the fourth selection introduces the listener to a Russian monastic chant form characterized by its simplicity and unique chant tradition.
