Blagoslovi dushe moya Gospoda. Sergei Tolstokulakov

The first antiphon of the liturgy ("Bless the Lord, O my Soul") in a contemporary setting by Sergei Tolstokulakov performed by the Novokuznetsk Spiritual Seminary Choir under the direction of his wife, Angelina Tolstolulakova. Photographs of contemporary Orthodox Christians make up the backdrop. Several of the photos were taken in Butyrki Prison near Moscow. The prisoners are our brothers in Christ, too, and shall you spare a prayer for them, please?

Beautiful pictures of the Russian people and music that can convert a soul by only listening.

Converted, no. Uplifted, yes. Psalm 146 covers it sufficiently. I think Tolstokulakov, Rachmaninoff, Tchesnokov, et al, just tried to do the notion justice with their compositions. Reflect... and let me know how that strikes you.

Give praise to the Lord for his loving kindness, my friend, and know that He transcends any orthodoxy that is defined by those he created. Blessings and peace be upon you. KP

From faith to faith. AriBenDavid speaks truly. Music (and faces) that can convert a soul merely by listening (and looking).

Where in all the Scriptures are souls converted by music? Nowhere...

Read Titus 3:4-7
