The Ancient Chants All-Night Vigil based on the melodies of the Valamo Monastery.
This music manuscript is the result of seven years’ work, the main objective of which has been the adaptation of the ancient Russian musical language to the modern era. Some renderings are reconstructions of original Valamo songs; others have been composed in the spirit of the musical traditions of divine service held at the Valamo Monastery. This music may be performed both at concerts, and at church services. The rather flexible forms of each hymn allow them to be performed both as separate melodies, and as a logical combination of these melodies assembled into a single musical liturgy.

The length of time it takes to perform the work is conditioned by the fact that the author had to address each song a great number of times, because full comprehension of spiritual melodies requires time. The more deeply the author understands the breadth and richness of the interpretation the more he is able to pass it on to the performers and in turn to the audience, thus the more deeply this magnificent music, which no-one is capable of understanding completely, penetrates into the souls of people.
