The best Christian praise songs of Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox church . A cappella church choir music.
Bio / Background
For many centuries Kiev Pechersk (Cave)Monastery was pride of Orthodox world. Later on destroyed by the atheists "heavenly like" cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin was its adornment. The cathedral choir was the legend and the magnet which attracted thousands visitors and pilgrims.
This rare and hard to find music CD represent the best Christian praise songs (hymns) of Russian Orthodox Church performed by the famous Monk Choir of Kiev Pechersk Monastery . During the centuries the specific style of church choir music was formed in the monastery. The origin of the Lavra's christian praise songs is in XI century. Church choir music of Kiev Pechersk monastery organically synthesize Byzantine tradition and folk- singing culture of old Rus.
The first track on this CD is very old and soulful authentic Christian praise song "Thy resurrection" which opens the Easter Day.
↓ more ↓It's very rare recording of this traditional Christian praise song because the church choir singing is accompanied by church bells ringing of Big Lavra's Bells Tower.
The next praise song "Christ's Resurrection" by Sergey Rachmaninoff is undoubtedly a rarity recordings. Rachmanoff's works are being performed throughout the world. His symphonies, piano concertos are well known. STILL, IN THE VAST SPACE OF HIS MUSIC THERE ARE SOME PRESERVED CORNERS. ONE OF WHICH IS HIS CHRISTIAN PRAISE SONGS. When in 1915 the 42-years old Sergey Rachmaninoff had turned to the church choir music, he was living through a hard period of his life. He confessed he was getting weaker and older and was looking for "air, rest and solitude". The concluding words of this praise song bore a special significance for the composer. He stressed the phrase "By Death Shall Death Be Destroyed" by sudden break in the sound dynamics, which turns it into an intimate confession.
"Receive Yea the Body of Christ" is Eucharistic praise song.
"Bless Is The Man" (early Kiev Christian praise song), "O, Gladsome Radiance" ( by P.Rechkunov) and "Now Lettest Thou Depart" (anonymous) are very beautiful praise songs of the all-night vigil service.
The conductor of Monks choir of Kiev Pechersk Lavra is hieromonk Kiril. He is also very good singer with very peculiar voice. His solo in "O THEOTOKOS AND VIRGIN REJOYS (Ave Maria)" is amazing and I'm sure this bueatiful christian praise song will melt your hart.
Under the influence of south-Slavic tunes Larva's christian praise songs gained a power and became one of bright characteristics of Ancient Rus. There are only two original Kiev Pechersk praise songs on this CD ("From My Youth" and "God With Us") because there is another CD specially dedicated to traditional church choir music of Kiev Pechersk Lavra. www.cdbaby.com/churchmusic
In 1784 Italian conductor and composer J.Sarti (1729-1802) visited Russia. He was so enraptured by Russia praise songs that he left Italy for Russia and till the end of his days he lived and worked there. He wrote many beautiful Christian praise songs for Russian Church and one of this praise song is represented on this CD (" O THEOTOKOS AND VIRGIN...)
From ancient times Kolyadkas and Shchedrivkas (Ukrainian Christmas carols) became a symbol of Christmas time. You'll find some original Christmas praise songs and traditional Ukrainian Christmas Carols at the end of this CD (tracks #20-25).
