On April 11, 2026, the Kyiv Theological Academy and Seminary released a new musical collection of Paschal chants, the KDAiS press service reports.
The volume was published with the blessing of Archbishop Sylvester of Bilohorodka, rector of the Kyiv Theological Schools. It contains a full body of Paschal hymns reflecting the academy’s long-standing choral tradition. The compilers included both standard chant settings and a range of original compositions and harmonizations.
All of the musical material was arranged according to the order of the liturgical cycle and the practical needs of church choirs. The careful selection of works is intended to help choir directors and singers use the collection effectively during the festive services of Bright Week.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that KDAiS had published a book on the history of the UOC.
