Classical/sacred choral music in the tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir was created at a fateful moment in Russian history, when full-scale spiritual life became possible once again after decades of persecution. At that time Russians realized that the majestic cathedrals and monasteries that had miraculously withstood the times of trouble should once again come alive with sounds of church chants – the uniquely sonorous singing which Russia has always been famous for. In those days a large men’s choir was created at the Sretensky Monastery, mainly for the purpose of accompanying the Divine Services. The musicians of the choir are like-minded highly talented young singers who strive for spiritual growth and firmly believe in cultivating the living tradition of Russian music. The experience of singing in the church has filled the sound of the choir with an extraordinary spirit that comes across in its entire repertoire from sacred hymns to folk songs to experimental contemporary music. Some of the choristers are composers who write original choral works and arrange both sacred and secular music. 1 Great Litany 2 Antiphon - Bless the Lord, O My Soul 3 Only Begotten Son 4 In Thy Kingdom Remember Us, O Lord 5 Come Let Us Worship 6 Troparia 7 Trisagion 8 Reading from the Epistles: Hebrews 10: 32 - 38 9 Reading from the Holy Gospels: Mark 2: 14 - 17 10 Augmented Litany 11 Litany for the Reposed 12 Cherubic Hymn 13 Litany of Fervent Supplication 14 The Symbol of Faith 15 A Mercy of Peace 16 It is Truly Met 17 From the First, Remember O Lord 18 Litany of Fervent Supplication 19 Our Father (The Lord's Prayer) 20 Communion Verse 21 Blessed is He that Cometh in the Name of the Lord 22 Preserve, O Lord
