Abstract
Dr. William Attra, Choral Director
The St. Romanos Chorale takes its name from the Syrian religious poet and hymnographer of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, St. Romanos, who is considered to be the greatest of the Byzantine melodist-poets. The St. Romanos Chorale is composed of singers from several Orthodox Christian churches in the greater Houston area. The music is sung a capella in both Byzantine and Slavonic styles, predominantly in English, but also in Greek, Arabic, and Slavonic. The Chorale has presented their beautiful spiritual Orthodox Christian music to audiences throughout Texas and neighboring states at venues including major colleges and universities.
