Description: In today's politically charged climate in the Caucasus, Jade Music is releasing "Sacred Georgian Chants", a compilation of songs and chants from the war-torn region. The music reflects the vigor and beauty of polyphonic chants from one of the oldest Christian countries. The Georgian Harmony Choir was founded in 2006 by Nana Peradze. Its members are passionate amateurs and professionals from Georgian origins. Its vocation is to raise the awareness of religious and popular Georgian chant following tradition and authenticity. The Choir has performed in Belgrade (Serbia), Tbilissi (Georgia) and Paris. Nana Peradze was born in 1968 into a religious family in Georgia. She received a chant and piano education and pursued theological studies. Since 1984, she has actively taken part in the religious rebirth of Georgia under communism, creating choirs in several monasteries and churches. She taught chant to many children and teenagers. From 1994 to 1997 she taught music in several religious schools and was the head of the choir at the Church St. Peter-And-Paul in Tbilissi. Liner notes in English, no hymn text. Less
