Sheehan Liturgy - Complete Score
“Sheehan has crafted a masterpiece which, while grounded in both the rich liturgical traditions of Russian Orthodoxy and the luminous Liturgy settings of Rachmaninoff, Gretchaninoff and others, speaks with a fresh and distinctive voice” (Craig Hella Johnson, GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor). “A new piece that bridges the gap both between the centuries and between the traditions of East and West… Sheehan’s compositional voice follows in the footsteps of the 20th and 21st century phenomena Arvo Pärt, John Tavener, and Ivan Moody, taking a uniquely American approach and color… A new standard for excellence in the American choral landscape” (Geoffrey D. Williams, The Living Church Magazine). Benedict Sheehan’s landmark setting of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom was premiered and recorded in 2019 by the GRAMMY®-nominated Saint Tikhon Choir and released in 2020 on Cappella Records to widespread critical acclaim.
