«Thy Resurrection, O Christ, the angels sing in the heavens» Paschal Matins begin with this stanza, which opens the CD containing the Paschal hymns. These hymns are imbued with joy over Risen Christ and the triumph of life over death. The Passover (from the Jewish word meaning «transition») from death to immortality, from corruption to eternal life is the main theme of Paschal canon and other hymns of this greatest Christian feast. Its particular importance and solemnity are accentuated by the repetition of the famous Paschal troparion «Christ is risen from the dead!» |

The combined Choir of the Holy Assumption Laura of the Caves in Kiev and the Kiev Theological Academy and Seminary conducted by Hierodeacon Kirill (Borisevich)
The Nativity of Christ is one of the greatest Christian feasts, which announces the great mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God - the Saviour of the world. The angelic hymn «Glory to God in the highestľ» resounds with a particular solemnity. Other hymns are also imbued with festive exultation.
Recorded in the second part of the CD are carols - old folk songs, which are traditionally sung at Christmastide with the wishes of riches, well being and good health. Carols, which are characterized by the naive simplicity of words, the warm and heartfelt music, are becoming increasingly popular.

On the eve of Great Saturday, which is also called the blessed Sabbath, the office of the burial of the Saviour is celebrated, which begins with the troparions «The Noble Joseph», «When Thou didst descend…» and «The Myrrh-Bearing Women». After that «The Evlogitaria» are sung before the Shroud, which has been brought into the middle of the church from the sanctuary. Special verses are read which express the grief and awe of the Christian soul before the God-Man.
The Divine Liturgy is celebrated after Vespers on Saturday morning. Its hymns call people to think about the time from the death of Christ on the Cross and His burial to His Resurrection from the dead. «Let all mortal flesh keep silence», sung in place of the Cherubic hymn, reminds us of the redemptive act of the Saviour. Equally moving and beautiful are «Weep not for Me, O Mother» and «The Thrice-Holy» accompanied by bell-ringing.
The monastic choir sings these hymns in Byzantine, Znamenny, Valaam, Bulgarian and Greek chants with deep feeling, restraint and grief, as befits Lent.

Precentor of the Monastic Choir of the Valaam Monastery - Hierodeacon German (Ryabtsev)
The monastic life and heroism of the spirit are likened to the way of the Cross in both sense of responsibility and difficulty. The hymns of the CD as if show the landmarks on this innermost way: the call to monastic life (Ringing of the bells), the taking of monastic vows («Open Thy fatherly embrace» and the Cherubic hymn), repentance and temperance in monastic life (Penitential verses), and the end of monastic deeds and earthly life (stanza for the burial of monks and «May your memory be eternal»).
The hymns, which resound with austerity, introduce the listener to the mystical realm of the monks" life, as their works and deeds are hidden form an outsider"s eye.
