    The Cherubic Hymn
    We who mystically represent the Cherubim.
    And who sing to the Life-Giving Trinity the thrice-holy hymn.
    Let us now lay aside all earthly cares.
    That we may receive the King of all, escorted invisibly by the angelic orders. Allyluia.
    Mykolai Dyletskyi
    Exact dates of his life are unknown and contradictory: he was probably born in Kyiv in 1650, probably died in Moscow or Smolensk in 1723. He was educated at the Vilnius Jesuit Academy and worked as a regent and teacher of church singing in Vilno (Vilnius), Kyiv, Smolensk, St. Petersburg.
    Author of the theoretical treatise "Musical Grammar" ("Грамматика пѣнія мусикійскаго"), a fundamental work in the development of Ukrainian musical artistry which exists in several editions and translated versions (1675-1681, 1723). For the first time, this work compiled and generalized music theory, previously only available through oral tradition or Western European academic treatises. In "Musical Grammar," Dyletskyi explains the basics of music theory, composition, and new Ukrainian polyphonic "partes" singing, which replaced the church monody.
