Russian Chants in Zagorsk

[rsp1100]

Third song, part II:

[They leave out the third feast, but it’s Theophany. I’ve seen longer versions of this.]

Cover the tables and all the carpets, rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born! And for carols give chocolates [i.e., to the carolers], rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born!

The first is in Russian, the third in Ukrainian.

[rsp1100]

Third song, part I:

Good evening to you, gentle sir, rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born!

Because they come to thee, three feasts to visit, rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born! And that first feast is Holy Nativity, rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born! And that second feast is of Saint Basil, rejoice! Rejoice, O Earth, the Son of God is born!

[rsp1100]

First song, part II:

[The next stanza is the voice of the lamb.]

I will make haste to Your call, my gracious Shepherd.

My whole self to You I entrust, How pleasant is Your call! O, how pleasant is Your call!

[Then back to the Shepherd}

O lamb, where have you hidden, and how far have you gone? Have you strayed out in the woods or, refuge in mountains sought? Or refuge in mountains sought?

[rsp1100]

First song, part I:

O lamb, where have you hidden, and how far have you gone? Have you strayed out in the woods or, refuge in mountains sought? Or refuge in mountains sought? And all the other lambs, are grazing here by Me. Guided forth in golden days with, no sighing, nor grieving. With no sighing nor grieving.You meadows, woods and rivers to, the Eternal Maker speak! Will you not find where this sheep is, the sheep for which I grieve? Oh, the sheep for which I grieve?

[g8tor03]

Amazing women.

[lentorpe]

They sing wonderfully, but what I do like most is how they seem to enjoy singing.

Cantan maravillosamente, pero lo que más me gusta es cómo parecen disfrutar al hacerlo.

[parmani]

eternal, mesmerialentssing, blessings to these wonderful people and their talent

[byibyi]

Thank you for the beauty you deliver to our everyday lives

[aelialicinia]

Ethereal - glory to the Lord Jesus.

Pray for us Saint Tikhon...

Amazing!

[DEGr]

This is the first song: Где ты агница сокрилась, И в какую даль ушла? В небесах ли заблудилась Иль в горах приют нашла? Зри, как агницы другие, Все пасутся у Меня, Провожаю дни златые, Не вздыхая, не стеня. Вы угла, леса и речки, Рцыте к Вышнему Творцу, Не видали ли вы овечки, Которые я дую? Я на глас Твой поспешаю, О, любезный, Пастирь мой, Всю себя Тебе вручаю, Коль призыв приятен Твой.

[Libau1234]

stunning, simply stunning. if only there was more like it!

[devloslav]

@Zisopoulos what name of this documentary is? Where can I wach it full? Thanks for this and greetings form Serbia!

[NiklasEC]

I love how the characterful voices are given the solos to base the choir on. They're all excellent but the sheer fun expressed by the outliers really should teach us something about choirs over here.

[bobishrink]

Gospod' blagoslovi Vas

Chud'esniy!

[michiganois]

Beautiful and uplifting sing. I didn't hear a single "Kumbaya" in this entire performance.

[uprooy]

Wonderful

[adriankeoni]

I normally don't take notice of women's choirs, but this is something else!

[vulvatronic]

they have really rich and distinvtive tradition of vocal music down there in Russia, also secular music. Dmitri Pokrovski was a man who collected (also saved from posible oblivion) from villages all over Russia their chants and formed an ensemble of professional musicians to perform those songs in authentic style.

[BillKillIll]

lovely

[puttincomputers]

as a mennonite i am very appreciative of this!

[Deader87]

Oh my god, that is so beautiful it almost brings tears to my eyes

[northland777]

Please! Who are the singers? where are they from? Music school? University choir? Church choir? And what does the priest say at the end of the first piece?

Thank You! Thank you!

[northland777]

Thank you very much michaelkoch5210 for those informations!!

a) Do you know who wrote this piece (agniza)? or is it anonymous? Can we find these piece on CD?

Thank you very much!! Merci de l'attention que vous portez à ma demande et soyez assuré de ma reconnaissance!

[Shalinar45]

How very beautiful!

[zavo666]

Magnigique: bravo!!!! :-)

[northland777]

Quel bel ensemble! Une interprétation qui ne manque pas d'ambiance ni d'élan. On l'écoute toujours avec bonheur. Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait la gentillesse d'écrire en français le titre et l'auteur de la première pièce? C'est tellement beau.Est-ce qu'il serait également possible que quelqu'un traduise les commentaires du religieux suite à la première pièce? Est-ce que cet ensemble a déjà enregistré? Quitte à me répéter, c'est de toute beauté.

[northland777]

Bravo!

[xmilenako]

excellent!

[natsense]

Very beautiful and so refreshing! (A lot of memoires, too!) ~Nat

[nlmedic]

The question wasn't really answered. Does anyone know what title the first song has?

[michaelkoch5210]

The first song is called "agniza", that means a small joung sheep. It is just a dialog between Savior and this small sheep, He asks where is he gone or if she got lost in forest or mountains, the sheep answers she is on her way to Him, becaurse he hears His call.

[sarandinakiap]

This warms our hearts, This in my eyes is so traditional and brings me back to my roots.

[VictoriaWinters]

So, it means that angels don't really live in heaven. Now I know that they actually reside in Russia. May these beautiful young ladies retain their sweetness always and may the tradition of these chants live forever.
