Great Russian Music
This post first appeared on Russia Insider
The Russian liturgy is, at times, simply astonishing in its power and grandeur.

Listen To This Amazing Russian Orthodox Christian Great Litany! After the opening proclamation, the Great Litany is chanted. This litany begins every liturgical service of the Orthodox Church, as well as virtually all sacraments and special services. It is the all-embracing prayer of the Church for everyone and everything. It consists of petitions to which the people respond: Lord have mercy.

Russian Orthodox

Putin was brought into the Russian Orthodox Church by his mother so he could be baptized as a baby. The priest told her that day was the feast of St. Michael and suggested Michael as his name. But she told him she had already decided on Vladimir in honor of his father.
And now you know the rest of the story. ;)

If you like the 1812 Overture, you will recognize that Tchaikovsky used the first several bars of The Great Liturgy as his opening.

Right! Some recordings start with a choir singing that part with the original words.

When I heard this Great Liturgy, I knew I had heard it before somewhere :-)

Maybe you'll enjoy this Tchaikovsky -- there's so much more to him than the ballets ;)

True. (I have never learned to appreciate ballet.)
And nothing beats a Russian choir.

Gotcha.
But that ain't a "a drum set," if you get my meaning.

I'm sorry for anybody who doesn't appreciate that gorgeous, soulful, moving, ecstatic, renowned classical composition as it is. The composer stood up to the commies if that means anthing to anybody.

I'm sorry for anybody

It's probably incomprehensible to most of our neighbors who are hooked on thumping, aharmonic noise.
There is not much you can do about it. There's sixty years of targeted conditioning behind that, you know.
You'll go insane if you take it seriously.

MTV was founded to shove society leftward and destroy young minds and souls -- and it's done a pretty bangup job of it.
'Subversion of popular music' is a good yahoo search. Henry Ford:
Popular Music is a Jewish monopoly. Jazz is a Jewish creation. The mush, the slush, the sly suggestion, the abandoned sensuousness of sliding notes, are of Jewish origin.
Monkey talk, jungle squeals, grunts and squeaks and gasps suggestive of cave love are camouflaged by a few feverish notes and admitted to homes where the thing itself, unaided by the piano, would be stamped out in horror. Girls and boys a little while ago were inquiring who paid Mrs. Rip Van Winkle’s rent while Mr. Rip Van Winkle was away. In decent parlors the fluttering music sheets disclosed expressions taken directly from the cesspools of modern capitals, to be made the daily slang, the thoughtlessly hummed remarks of high school boys and girls......
