Great Russian Music

This post first appeared on Russia Insider

The Russian liturgy is, at times, simply astonishing in its power and grandeur.

Don't forget to turn on captions.

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.

It most certainly does.

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.
