I sink into the lush folds of the unknowable become known through this heaving, undulating liquid, so thick, so rich to wrench the spirit for Its own.

Who are these Russian people? All I know is the Russian revolution, Czars,"communists", the suffering of their soldiers and people during WW2 and the Jews in my memoir class who share of Siberia and loss. Now I know this music that leads me to where I have never been, but yearned for.

I love this song so much! I cry every time our choir sings it. We sing it in English. The words are so moving. Imagine the Theotokos watching as her son is crucified...her breaking heart...her pain...the suffering. This piece makes it all real.

@bizintin I can't say it better... it moves me to my most inner self..like history of the spirit.. ebbing... but always there...

I collect it for fear that most are not listening to God
