Program: #02-45 Air Date: Nov 11, 2002
One of the themes of the just passed 2002 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht was music from medieval and early Renaissance Croatia and Dalmatia--we will hear a service from this land where Byzantium, Rome and the ancient Glagolithic chant merged together.
Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant from Dana Wipperman.
NOTE: All of the music on this program is from a performance by the singers of the St. Stefankerk, Stari Grad on Hvar Island. This recording was made as part of the 2002 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht.
