Grechaninov composed his "Domestic Liturgy" specifically for choir, organ, and string instruments. As far as I know it is the only orthodox liturgy composed for anything but just voices in the pre-revolutionary period (Well, right at the beginning, this was composed in 1917). Grechaninov did compose other sacred works with instruments as well. Since 1991 other composers have also included instruments in compositions, such as Hilarion Alfeev.

Why were they using an organ???

[@wolfgl]

Why not?

[@nadiakoval3670]

"Liturgy", Op. 79, was originally written for soloists, tenor and bass, choir, string orchestra, organ and harp.

sorry but this doesnt sound orthodox at all and it is weird for my ears

[@ltlarrow1]

it's for a concert. If done in church, there would be no organ
