Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed in 1926 by the Czech master, this monumental choral work stands as a deeply nationalistic expression of post-war independence. Utilizing the Old Church Slavonic text rather than standard Latin, the complex orchestral and vocal arrangements push the boundaries of early 20th-century liturgical structure.
