Precentor of the Monastic Choir of the Valaam Monastery Hierodeacon German (Ryabtsev)
The Akathists to the Most Sweet Jesus and the Mother of God are a vivid expression of Russian piety and a special love of the Russian Orthodox Christians to this kind of prayers, which has become an important part of the daily rule.
The Akathist to the Most Sweet Jesus expresses the pious reverence and humility of Christians at the mystery of the coming to the world of the Son of God and His Incarnation. His deed of redemption, Resurrection and Ascension are glorified in the Akathist. Being aware of his sinfulness, the worshipper hopes for the all-forgiving love and mercy of Christ the Saviour.
The Akathist to the Mother of God expresses the firm belief of the Orthodox people in Her prayers and intercession for humanity before Her Divine Son.
These akathists are the earliest in Orthodox hymnology. It was on this pattern that many other akathists were composed, particularly to the icons of the Mother of God and to many saints. |

Palm Sunday is the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem - His voluntary coming to His sufferings and death. He was met as the King and the Lord, but in a few days was sentenced to death and crucified. The hymns in the first part of the CD are dedicated to these events, about which we know from the Gospel.
Recorded in the second part are hymns from the Festal Triodion, i.e. the period of church services from Pascha to the Sunday of All Saints. This will be interesting to the listeners to hear these festive hymns performed with unusual austerity and restraint.
Recorded in St.Nicholas skete of the Valaam Monastery. |

The verses are penitential, tearful and moving, so that they call the soul to repentance" - this title in chant manuscripts relates to particular works. First of all, these texts appeared in chant books at the end of the fifteenth century. They were not connected to the Church"s Ordo and liturgical practice. They are an ancient layer of Russian para-liturgical religious poetry. The purpose of the verses was to lead the singers and listeners to a pure repentance of sins, once committed or imagined, that would benefit the soul.
The freedom of melody, its beauty and divine inspiration, the lofty sensitivity of its poetry, and the power of all these component parts were so great that the penitential verses survived the medieval tradition by receiving embodiment at the end of the seventeenth century in the new genres of para-liturgical lyric poetry of psalms and religious verses, and in the twentieth century - in the great artistic works of the Russian composers Georgy Sviridov, Valery Gavrilin and Vladimir Martynov.
A.N. Kruchinina, Professor of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire
