What is Byzantine Influence in The Late Choral Works of Sir John Tavener about?

Tavener achieved his unique, and considerably spiritual sound through incorporating elements of Byzantine chant into his works. An ancient tradition rooted to 6th and 7th century liturgical practices, Tavener believed that the basic musical materials that comprise Byzantine chant came from the mouth of God himself. Tavener’s music, a synthesis of ancient tradition with his own individual style is exotic yet familiar; a music that will be enjoyed for centuries to come.
