"This version has many differences from the original. First, the New Testament is read against the musical background, rather than cantillated or cited in between the numbers. It has a completely new instrumentation: the author has included a brass quintet (two trumpets, one French horn, one trombone, and one tuba), a drumkit, an electric guitar, and a synthesizer, yet, he has left the strings," Alexey Puzakov, a director of the Tretyakov Gallery chorus, said Wednesday to Interfax-Religion.
According to him, some numbers are orchestrated in the rock manner. This version addresses mostly young people visiting rock concerts, rather than the typical audience of classic and spiritual music concerts. "This interpretation of the known work of Bishop Hilarion allows us to extend the audience of his listeners, and now even viewers, beyond the limits of spiritual music lovers, and commit a broad part of modern theater and music audience to the themes addressed by the author," Puzakov said.
