Concerto Grosso

Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev - DE PROFUNDIS Compositions for orchestra and choir.

Concerto Grosso (2012) is a work that is best defined as aesthetic expressing the beauty, sublimity and wonder of Christian culture. The artistic form is the result of the interaction of three movements. Together they create an association with the so called concerto da chiesa, in which slow and fast tempos alternate.

The cyclic form, the three part "grand concert", the contrast of tempos and the overall melodic rhytmic style, creates the image of baroque music (Corelli, Vivaldi, as well as Handel and J.S. Bach).
On the other hand, the music also sounds entirely modern. Metropolitan Hilarion's orchestral music, not only illustrates the diversity of genres in his musical creativity, but also demonstrates his "authorial style" as a phenomenon of modern music its essential sacral aesthetic core.
