rachmaninoff's ave maria is wonderful also. I just love the orthodox chant .Ido wish we had such beauty in the roman catholic church.We have went a little holy roller,I do wish we had our old music back...i have nothing against people of that faith,,,,
It is truly gorgeous indeed, but all this talk of God, Tchaikovsky never felt inspired by God, Tchaikovsky achieved all his music by sheer hard work. After all, if God sees all, he sure wouldn't like Tchaikovsky much, now would he?
@hcybtiw Now that I can live with, and I do hope you are right, but the Church I used to go to has always taught me there were special places in hell reserved for people like Tchaikovsky, which if true is no happy prospect for me
Every time I listen to this such an unexplainable sense of peace and tranquility sweeps over me so powerful it brings me to tears. No other music has anywhere near this effect. It's truly Divine music in a very literal sense of the word.
Surely this came from the Divine … the “Imprisoned Spender” that exist in all of us only awaiting our opening out a way for it to escape and bless everyone it touches.
“The Jewell of The Cosmos … The Birth of Consciousness”
The Jewel of the Cosmos … Consciousness … is the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Travel with me as we unlock these secrets.
Moved to tears of joy by the beauty of this hymn and the singing of this choir. Our Father in heaven does not hate anyone, He loved us so much that He gave His son to die for us all. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost now and forever.
@SynthWoof Don't you mean "Sir Gay" Rachmaninov? But seriously, do you really think God hates anyone? I think hatred is a human flaw that is way beneath God.
@rezkid2001 This music is so beautiful and uplifting, but if I had to hear it "without end" in heaven, I'm not sure I would want to be in heaven. I would want to also hear Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus," Bach's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring," Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing," etc.
"Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory. And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh." (Ezekiel 10:4,5).
The cheruvim in heaven are singing - "SAINT! SAINT! Saint is The Lord oh hosts! FULL IS THE HEAVEN AND FULL IS THE EARTH WITH HIS MAJESTY! And the serafims are claping their wings,(Father Paisios) in a bit that's the bit of their clean heart, and they are all burning with Love for God ,the Creator of all things, The one that called us from NOTHING to existence! But the direction to heaven is to really understand that we deserve hell(full repentance) otherwise Nobody will enter in Heaven!
This is the best work of Tchaikovsky in my opinion. He got into trouble with the Church by having this work (Divine Liturgy) performed in a theater and not during services. I was thinking of another Cherubic Hymn by Tchaikovsky with begins very quitely and slow builds to a climax and then slowly becomes quite again. Alexandr D'Maddalena
Thank you so much for posting this. I belong to the choir of a Serbian Orthodox cathedral and we are learning Tchaikovsky's divine liturgy including the Cherubic Hymn and his Trisagion. All of it! Quite frightening for a second soprano like me and not a first.
I'm glad that I am able to hear what it is supposed to sound like. Thank you. : )
Who, in their ever-lovin', right thinkin' mind would vote thumbs down on this? Even if you have issues with Tchaikovsky (how? He's been dead for over a hundred years!) or his "life-style" (how in the world does that affect you??) or are anti-religious (and this affects you, how?), this is just mind-blowingly awesome. Kudos to the producers of this album. Every track is spot-on and superbly engineered. Peter himself would be proud and impressed.
Tchaikovsky was gay. That's reality. It's funny that all the delusional bible-thumping shit heads that listen to this can't seem to accept that and call it the "gay agenda". You people are pathetic and it makes me laugh.
I do have some of their Music and am always wanting to listen to them sing or chant.
Even though I do not understand the words or speak Russian just listening to this Chorus-Choir is very special and spiritually uplifting. Simply glorious !
@FelixOcato it isn't proved that he was homosexual. No matter if you like the imagination of his supposed homosexuality, people shouldn't think about it while listening to his music. This biographical and intimate question has nothing to do with him as a composer.
@FelixOcato Seriously? With our perverted, oversexualized 21st century minds normal statements and actions of completely innocent nature are often translated into the most perverse motives. There was nothing homosexual about Tchaikovsky; this statement slanders the dead who can no longer defend themselves.
Astounding ........ the art of man & woman. Even Almighty creator must be pleased with Tchaikovsky I expect. I never heard this magic before, thank you very much.
This is a lovely performance, but as I criticized this CD on Amazon, it leaves out the entire second part -- the ecstatic and energetic Alleluiyas that welcome the Divine Presence in the Eucharist when the Great Entrance is completed and the Elements are carried into the Ikonostas for consecration. This is only a portion of both the liturgical text and the musical composition.
@rezkid2001 Even this, which I consider the most profoundly beautiful piece of music ever written, must pale in comparison to the angelic choirs surrounding our Most-High God. Our imagination cannot begin to comprehend such beauty.
@HMAlexei So much more glorifying than these poppy overly fake emotional songs, which inspire self glorification. And this is coming for a 21 year-old christian youth leader who should apparently love that stuff!!
I can't wait for that day when I stand in the midst of glory and my whole body quakes as I gaze upon Almighty God - Commander of heavens armies. When I am embraced as son into the heavenly realm and worship God in eternal state. When I live my life as God intended before the fall!
@JoshD667 You may find it "cool" to be so devout while others, including Tchaikovsky and this fine choir are "fake", but I find it pretentious and judgemental.
@TripBoomLikeThat Cool? if I were trying to be cool, I would most certainly not be a christian, why how society in my area looks down on it! You may be right about Tchaikovsky, but your wrong about me. Ill content myself with a good laugh at your ignorance.
@IntoTheMystical Allow my Christian Borthers and sisters whom know me more than someone who has read a comment, do the rebuking and judging. You have little place or authority to do so.
We, who mystically representing the cherubim and singing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating Trinity, let us now lay aside every worldly care so that we may raise up the king of all who is invisibly borne aloft by the angelic orders Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
The lyrics in English are as sung in my Orthodox church are:
Let us who mystically represent the cherubin, and who sing the thrice holy hymn to the life creating Trinity, now lay aside all earthly cares. Amen. That we may receive the king of all who comes invisibly upborn, by the angelic host. Alleulia!
I'm driven into madness by this music! I get the fits! This is more than beauty! Hard to believe it's a composition by Tchaikovsky who obviously knew, how one writes music, that is, how manipulation of senses works best...
@Rotebuehl1 "driven into madness"...such rapture, shivering my psyche, cleansing my soul, uplifting into Devinity. "Driven into madness"..you are at one with the music that transcends, the slender cord that lifts up into the core of Beauty. And we all are graced. I would love to hear what else you do with your wonderful life.
as soon as this vid begn my dog - who had been chewing a bone on the floor near the computer - suddenly became serious, stopped chewing, and looked at the speakers. she cocked her head to the side a little and listened very closely. Normally my dog ignores the sounds coming from the computer. this is the power of the human voice, combined in pure harmony and devotion. even some animals are compelled to stop and listen.
@movitmovit I am grateful for your posting. What is your dog's name? Our dog Charliy did that with TV which she had never even glanced at even when a dog barked on a show but when the Dalai Lama
spoke she sat on her haunches right below the screen and watched. Dogs are amazing.
@fezrel This is the prayer that is chanted every Sunday in the Orthodox Church before the Eucharist part of the service. There are many different settings of music to these profound words.
when i play this song together with the "Cherubic hymn - Xeroubiko - Cherubim-hymnus - 2nd tone (Byzantine Chant)...i cry badly..remember the cherubim non-stop praising God while we here on earth non-stop sinning..
I first came across a recording of Russian Orthodox music when I stopped by a little classical music store(now gone...) back in 1990----the owner recommended a recording of Rachmaninoff's Vespers(on the Telarc label)----I WAS HOOKED:I DON'T KNOW WHAT HEAVEN SOUNDS LIKE BUT THIS HAS GOT TO COME CLOSE: i'VE GOTTEN DOZENS OF CDS SINCE THEN:RUSSIAN, UKRAINIAN,GEORGIAN: THIS MUSIC IS SIMPLY UNSPEAKABLY TRANSCENDENT!!!!!!
Liquid light searing the edges of my soul, igniting the depths of my being. Majesty soaring, lifting me up, delivering me into the hands of the Lord God Almighty. And settling me down into His holiness in a place of peace.
May the Lord bless you and keep you Katherine! You have described the best way to participate in the correct glorification of our Lord. All senses, every part of the soul and body are to prasise God.
english translation- [We], who mystically representing the cherubim and singing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating Trinity, let us now lay aside every worldly care so that we may raise up the king of all who is invisibly borne aloft by the angelic orders Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
im a musician and i would love to use this piece for my high school's brass. does anyone know where i could find the sheet music for this? choir version prefered, i can transpose anything
That would be amazing to hear young people playing this transcendent song with the brass doing the chant. Would make for some pretty happy tubas, etc. Please let me know when you, all, have it on You Tube.
All the senses are to be annointed and consecrated to God in Baptism/ Chrismation -forehead, eyes, ears, nose, lips, throat, hands, feet. You will also be tonsured... I could go on, but I don't want YOUR journey of discovery to be marred by my interpreation of it!
Lord, Have Mercy.
Grant unto them that love Thee, greater measure of Thy blessings; that they may ever glorify Thy most Holy Name; of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit, Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
You smell (nose) the incense of the sancification God has wrought in His people and of their prayers going up. You touch (hands) the candles &light up your and others souls with your prayers; you kiss (lips) the icons & your fellow supplicators then "taste and see that The Lord is Good"; you take to heart all your senses can experience (breast) and offer all and recieve all from Chrost Our God, whom God accepts all in HIM, then gives us evermore increase of "The Faith, full of the Holy Spirit"
It's not just what you hear that is blessed and sanctified...
You SEE (eyes) the Lord, follow (FEET) on the path to Salvation and His Saints did who followed Him, depicted in the Icons, windows into Heaven; You hear (ears) the Good news of what God does and the Holy Gospel;
How wonderful, i wish to god we had such music in the Catholic church. Ours sounds like cirus music when compared to to yours..Thank you dear Russian friends for your music and art. I love icons also...
I am not a christian, but I am particularly enamored with the musical liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church. This piece by Tchaikovsky is probably the most serene and beautiful chorale I've ever heard.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Russian lyrics to the Cherubikon?
These are the Russian (Church-Slavonic) lyrics: Иже херувимы тайно образующе и Животворящей Троице Трисвятую песнь припевающе, всякое ныне житейское отложим попечение.
If you can't read Cyrillic, here is the anglicised version: Izhe kheruvimi tayno obrazuyushche e Zhivotvoryashchey Troitze Tristvyatuyu pesn pripievayushche, vsyakoe ninye zhiteyskoe otlozhim popecheniye.
@maestrovoci What do you mean, comunists could 't destroy it. It is they who prerserved it and who are performing it. This is mindless anti-comunism, or is it arrogant anti-Slavism I am hearing from you.
@Theodor727 - Amazing that he or she did not care to read the video description of this awesome and beautiful hymn performed by The USSR Ministry Of Culture Chamber Choir, a hymn that lives on forever.
only because communist do not judge peope in accordance to their religious tendencies. they judge reactionaries and people who corrupts the words of God in order to maintain social inequality.
communists respect and support fine arts even it is religious or not. but the american imperialism and ''godly'' capitalists impose MTV and other rubbish ,which are full of pornography and moral corruptedness, on native cultures. listen lady gaga or sth like that if you are so anticommunist.
@maestrovoci Tchaikovsky himself was not exactly a religious man either. He, like the "godless communists", was simply struck by the transcendent beauty of liturgical chants, without attaching any value the devoutness of the text. And listening to this, who can blame them?
Ah, religion... man at his best - man at his worst.
This pagan appreciates this beautiful music.

@fezrel This is the prayer that is chanted every Sunday in the Orthodox Church before the Eucharist part of the service. There are many different settings of music to these profound words.

That would be amazing to hear young people playing this transcendent song with the brass doing the chant. Would make for some pretty happy tubas, etc. Please let me know when you, all, have it on You Tube.

All the senses are to be annointed and consecrated to God in Baptism/ Chrismation -forehead, eyes, ears, nose, lips, throat, hands, feet. You will also be tonsured... I could go on, but I don't want YOUR journey of discovery to be marred by my interpreation of it!
Lord, Have Mercy.
Grant unto them that love Thee, greater measure of Thy blessings; that they may ever glorify Thy most Holy Name; of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit, Now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

You smell (nose) the incense of the sancification God has wrought in His people and of their prayers going up. You touch (hands) the candles &light up your and others souls with your prayers; you kiss (lips) the icons & your fellow supplicators then "taste and see that The Lord is Good"; you take to heart all your senses can experience (breast) and offer all and recieve all from Chrost Our God, whom God accepts all in HIM, then gives us evermore increase of "The Faith, full of the Holy Spirit"
katherine3486 2 years ago 3
Yes the music can be wonderful, but there's more!
It's not just what you hear that is blessed and sanctified...
You SEE (eyes) the Lord, follow (FEET) on the path to Salvation and His Saints did who followed Him, depicted in the Icons, windows into Heaven; You hear (ears) the Good news of what God does and the Holy Gospel;

I am not a christian, but I am particularly enamored with the musical liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church. This piece by Tchaikovsky is probably the most serene and beautiful chorale I've ever heard.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Russian lyrics to the Cherubikon?
donmn763 2 years ago 5
These are the Russian (Church-Slavonic) lyrics: Иже херувимы тайно образующе и Животворящей Троице Трисвятую песнь припевающе, всякое ныне житейское отложим попечение.

@maestrovoci
only because communist do not judge peope in accordance to their religious tendencies. they judge reactionaries and people who corrupts the words of God in order to maintain social inequality.
communists respect and support fine arts even it is religious or not. but the american imperialism and ''godly'' capitalists impose MTV and other rubbish ,which are full of pornography and moral corruptedness, on native cultures. listen lady gaga or sth like that if you are so anticommunist.

@maestrovoci Tchaikovsky himself was not exactly a religious man either. He, like the "godless communists", was simply struck by the transcendent beauty of liturgical chants, without attaching any value the devoutness of the text. And listening to this, who can blame them?
