From the Rising of the Sun

This short, brilliant introit hymn is sung in the Orthodox Church to greet the bishop when he enters the church. The text, from Psalm 112 [113], makes this setting useable in many contexts and occasions. Russian composer and musicologist Johann von Gardner (1898–1984) writes in a rich choral style reminiscent of the Russian Moscow Synodal School.
