This year the celebration of Easter coincides in East and West. It is an appropriate time to seek out the roots which united the two major Christian cultures in a period when a Greek Pope was not a contradiction in terms. Fr Philip Steer challenges customary views about the division between East and West, using eighth-century chants for the Easter season. Though sung in Rome, these pieces have Greek texts and belong to the world of Byzantine music.
