Perhaps the most 'Divine' piece of music ever written set against Kiev's spectacular sacred buildings which testifies to the city's thousand plus years as a centre of Slavic and Christian civilisation.
"Let us who mystically portray the Cherubim, and chant the thrice-holy hymn unto the life-creating Trinity, lay aside all earthly care, that we may receive the King of all, escorted invisibly by the angelic orders. Alleluia."
The hymn is beautifully performed by the Petersburg Chamber Choir.
