The Ukrainian Men’s Choir of Ottawa AKORD proudly presents its recording of the Jerusalem Matins by Pavlo Matsenko, a renowned Ukrainian-Canadian musicologist, composer and arranger of secular and sacred music.

The Jerusalem Matins is an exceptional and unique liturgy celebrated on the evening of Good Friday or morning of Great Saturday. This somber prayerful vigil set beside the tomb of Jesus Christ resonates with beautiful lyrics and deeply moving melodies, which express the pain and anguish caused by loss.

The Liturgy helps the faithful to understand the depth and strength of Christ’s Faith, proclaims the certainty of His Resurrection and anticipates His Ascension to Heaven as our Lord and Saviour
