During Cappella Romana's twentieth-anniversary year the ensemble made its first journey to Greece at the invitation of the International Festival of Sacred Music of Patmos. There it offered outside the Cave of the Apocalypse a concert of sacred music born from encounters between Greek musicians and the so-called 'Latin West'. Ranging over six centuries and locations from Constantinople to California, this program was chosen to reflect the chronological and geographic reach of both the Byzantine tradition and Cappella Romana. Together with a few additional works, this music was then sung in concerts on the island of Paros, where it was recorded for the present disc.
