Très belle cette vidéo.Merci !

La musique et l'image sont superbes. L'image est une reprise d'après une icône de 1/2 XII-siecle, « La Vierge de Vladimir » Ici le peintre fait un changement de la composition -- la main gauche du Christ est sur la tête de la Vierge et pas autour de son cou. Je ne la connaissais pas. Quelques zooms sur des détails: yeux, mains, bouches, le fond en Or???

Merci infiniment, c'est une merveille ! *****

This icon is actually of Greek origin. I couldn't find a satisfactory image of a Russian icon, so I settled for this. It is the "Virgin Cardiotissa" by Angelos Akotantos created somewhere between 1400 and 1450.

[marighim2008]

Vous avez raison. J'ai fait une grossière confusion entre Kardiotissa et Eleousa. La Mère de Dieu du Vladimir est du type Eleousa. Elle a été ramenée de Constantinople. En Russie c'est le Type Eleousa qui est plus répandu.

Mille excuses et merci pour la correction!

[HARMONICO101]

No problem! You seem to know alot about icons!

I've heard several different versions of this same orthodox chant; however, this russian version, is perhaps the most moving.

Wishing you and yours a blessed Easter.

Profondement touche par la grace, pudeur et harmonie parfaite de ce chant orthodoxe. Oeuvre monumentale d'une intensite exceptionnelle.

I first came into contact with this piece from listening to Loreena McKennit's Dante's Prayer. Took some research and found that she had sampled this piece. That was years back and I still love this song today.

Се Жених грядет в полунощи,

и блажен раб, егоже обрящет бдяща:

недостоин же паки, егоже обрящет унывающа.

Блюди убо, душе моя, не сном отяготися,

да не смерти предана будеши,

и Царствия вне затворишися

но воспряни зувущи:

Свят, Свят, Свят, еси, Боже наш,

Богородицею помилуй нас.

[treblechoir99]

La pureté, comme les icones, du chant et des voix de la liturgie Orthodoxe.

[steelfan81]

if nothing else, when this song is sung in my church, i KNOW 100% that it's holy week! simply the most beautiful and solemn time of the church year.

[NWOslowlyFallingDown]

‎" 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:

“Awake, you who sleep,Arise from the dead,And Christ will give you light.” "

Библията THE Bible Ephesians 5:11 5:12 5:13 5:14

Je serais un fervant chrétien si la religion était à l'image de cette mélodie

[Corduroyflare]

Takes my breath away and eases every muscle in my body as well as touching each and every corner of my soul. I love Russian Orthodox Chant.
