Chesnokov Op. 40-5 "Do not cast me off" (Concerto for bass profondo and choir)

[ADK713]

Wow! Those are the lowest bass notes i ever heard in my life. I'm a bass in my high school chorus. I don't know if I can sing that low! But I'm doing everything I can.

Ne otverzhi mene vo vremya starosti, vnegda oskudevati kreposti moyey, ne ostavi mene. Yako resha vrazi moi mne i stregushchii dushu moyu soveshchasha vkule, glagolyushche: “Bog ostavil yest’ yevo, pozhenite i imite yevo, yako nest’ izbavlyayay.” Bozhe moy, ne udalisa ot mene, Bozhe moy, v pomoshch moyu vonmi. Da postydyatsa i ischeznut oklevetayushchii dushu moyu, da oblekutsa v stud i sram idushchii zlaya mne. Azh zhe vsegda vozupovayu na Tya, i prilozhu na vsyaku pokhvalu Tvoyu.

Quite glorious, thank you !

The lyrics are taken from Psalm 71, verse 9-14 :) a bit too much text to fit into a comment, so just open the Bible and find it :)

[DontfuckwithElton]

is it possible to get the lyrics to this astounding piece? :)

[blendingbone]

Haha... I thought they were wimping out on the low notes, but they get to the G1 at 6:35....perfect.
