Ukrainian church music is very emotional an uplifting!
The church I was brought up in sang it nice and upbeat - if not quick - but when I attended the same church in London - they dragggggggggged it out interminably - it was sooooo slow - I wanted to snap my fingers to make it more lively!
I find it interesting that the Otche Nash is the exact same words I learned as a young boy from my mother and grandmothers - is it really the same in Russian and Ukrainian?
@Johantomtom It's called church Slavonic. Used to hear it exclusively when I was a kid, but now only occasionally. As an aside, my preference is the old stuff . . . hearing it brings back beautiful memories. I make an annual pilgrimage to St. Tikhon's Monastery in South Canaan, PA, and this year the choir was all male. They sang a lot of hymns in Slavonic, including some of my favorites. I thought I was in heaven!
Russian liturgical music was originally more "spiritual", less emotional. I do not mean this in a negative way. For centuries, liturgical music was passionless - it spoke of joy and suffering without stirring the emotions. This music was influenced very much by 19th century Russian composers.

Otche nash, susthiy na nebesah,
Da svyatitca imya tvoye,
Da priidet tsarstvye tvoye,
Da budet volya tvoya
I na zemle kak na nebe.
Hleb nash nasusthnyiy dai nam na sey den,
I prosti nam dolgi nashi,
Kak i myi prosthae dolnikam nashim,
I ne vvedi nas v iskushenye,
No izbav nas ot lukavogo. Amin.

what do you mean
pavelkostov 4 years ago
Listen to the end and then quickly to the begining again. You should realize that they finish lower then they start at the begining.
Common thing in choirs.
But they sound nice and always keep together in harmony.
I start like it - the song.
mariuszny 4 years ago
no this starts in f and the real version starts in c with the low basses cranking out a low c
pavelkostov 4 years ago
they dont quite go down to C, but it is still really cool how that happens in choirs.
