me too! I listen 5 or six times in a row, each time finding another nuance that moves my heart. the Bass at 0:58 takes my breath away, and I am a Tenor!
Slava v Bogu = Слава в Богу = Glory to God in [from Google Translate] and what glorious music! What a glorious place of worship! Спасибо за ваш вклад! [Thank you for your contribution!]
This is really great, I am Catholic, but I ma very impressed by the Eastern Orthodox Church, I will one day want to visit Russia to attend the service of this Church.
Just to put this in context, it's the entrance hymn from Vespers, sung after the conclusion of the main set of thematic hymns for the day ("Lord I have cried unto thee"; that is, a set of verses structured around selections from Psalms 141, 130, and 117.)
O Gladsome Light is sung every Saturday evening at Vespers in the Orthodox Church. There may be different melodies but the words are the same everywhere in the world.
@Toffeesturn Valaam is a Monastery in Russia. There are many Russian Orthodox Chants (typically sung in Church Slavonic, not Russian) that originate from this Monastery... or are in the style of the chants sung by the Monks at Valaam.

Russia is is famous for their menschoirs, been there seen it life. Especially there Basses are fabulous. Amd whats interresting, many of them cant read notes, sing everything by ear. Almost just as as good, are the chinese Munks. Fortunatly i also had the opportunity to see them life in China.
Translation: O Gladsome Light of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly, holy, blessed Father, O Jesus Christ: Having come to the setting of the sun, having beheld the evening light, we praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: God. Meet it is for Thee at all times to be praised with reverent voices, O Son of God, Giver of life. Wherefore, the world doth glorify Thee There's an English version on RUclips also.
Я вспоминаю о том, насколько красивой православной и восточной литургии Церкви на самом деле. Существует гораздо больше гармонии, когда на музыкальных инструментах не участвуют, не как в большинстве западных церквей, музыкальних инструментах просто отнять у красоты.
The services were stopped for a while but then Stalin revived the Orthodox Church and the practice begun again. Of course there are services today now that Russia is once again an official Orthodox country. There are 8 churches inside the Kremlin. All actives.
Saint Basil the Fool for Christ. "If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight." 1 Corinthians 3:19
@g8tor03 That translation is so off as to be basically wrong. Someone tried to make English poetry out of it, but you can't do that without mangling the sense. No Orthodox bishop I know would ever approve such a travesty of a translation in any of his parishes. Someone who wants to know what they're singing can Google "Phos Hilarion".
Perfect musical quality delivery and beautiful group together in sacred chorale excellance
Beautiful. My Russian Orthodox mother told me the voices were amazing.
I was just in Russia and went to St. Basil's. I cannot find words to express the beauty and the experience.
This version of this hymn will never be surpassed in its magnificence. I wished to buy a recording of it.
Thanks to RUclips we can worship with brethren around the world. Thank God Almighty for the uploads. Greetings from Florida, USA
Tchenks. Mega. Super.
I have lost count of how many times that I have listened to this majestic music for a year now!
Majestic is the key word!
me too! I listen 5 or six times in a row, each time finding another nuance that moves my heart. the Bass at 0:58 takes my breath away, and I am a Tenor!
I too!
Sanctified and perfect emotionally rallied to GOD
You are really blessed to have visited my Lords church.❤❤❤

That bass.....leaves me speechless.
This is so very beautiful, the voices, the music, thanks for sharing this.

@pccrazy1000 Yes :) Slava means Glory... They are singing in Church Slavonic, the language of the Russian, Serbian etc... churches.
This is os peaceful. I get the goosebumps every time.

Lost track of this great vid for about a year. Won't happen again!

So... this is pretty much the best.

Is the liturgy done in St. Basil's Cathedral anymore? Or have they stopped after the end of the Tsar?
