Mystirion Xenon

Mystirion Xenon, (Greek for ‘Strange Mystery’) is the perfect work for secondary-school age choirs and above who are interested in performing a contemporary setting of a Greek Orthodox Christmas chant. The performance of the work can be augmented with optional digital audio that contains exotic sounds of Middle-Eastern ululations and Tibetan overtone singing. The work is primarily structured on canonic lines between the voices, which are layered into captivating organum-like textures. This work is a fascinating blend of old and new that choirs and audiences are sure to enjoy.
