About Gospodi - The Light Of Christ
Gospodi – The Light Of Christ is a collaborative studio album by Austrian composer and sitarist Felix Maria Woschek and Indian classical musician Ustad Sultan Khan. The album merges Western sacred choral traditions with North Indian classical instrumentation. The release date is 1997.
Woschek composed the vocal and instrumental arrangements. Sultan Khan contributed sarangi performances and vocal renditions in the Hindustani style. The album adopts a fusion format that integrates Gregorian chant-inspired melodies with raga-based improvisations. The primary format is a commercial CD.
The label information remains undocumented in available sources. The album contains three tracks. Gospodi – I am the light opens the recording with a synthesis of Slavonic liturgical phrasing and alankar patterns. Hallelujah – The light is in me follows with a call-and-response structure between Woschek’s choir and Khan’s sarangi. Kyrie – I am the light concludes the work with an extended drone section underpinning devotional lyrics in Latin and Sanskrit.
