This is my favourite composition of the Lord’s Prayer. It’s one of my favourite to sing. I’m Orthodox and I have sang this rendition on many Sunday’s. It is such a fluid and emotional version.
"khleb nash" it is "our bread" as you see it is written in lower case because "our Lord" would be "Otche nash" which is the name of this piece in literal translation it is "Lord of our's"
What I find so interesting in following the music is seeing how little movement there is in each part and yet as they relate to each other you hear movement and complexity. It goes to prove, once again, how beautiful and complex simplicity can be.
This is a very well-loved "Our Father" for that reason - it's absolutely beautiful, yet not so difficult that it's beyond a half-decent church choir. We use it in the OCA (in English) a lot.
Thank you for this divine performance!! Please know that it really captures the essence and meaning of the piece, the lyrics, the sanctity...may you keep singing for many years!
As someone who has sung this in Church at Divine Liturgy, this is simply masterful, you guys. I liked how the bass hit some lower octave notes than the ones written (“nashim” and “Amin”) and I could’ve had more bass overall. I really love it when the bass in Russian music just rattles hearts and windows! I wish there was some way to get you all to come sing an all-night vigil or divine liturgy at my church here in St Louis! And kudos for doing so well with those Slavonic sounds!
WOOW! im shocked! I just went back from Church Service and we sing this prayer EVERY Sunday Liturgy in Orthodox Church!!!! But i prefecr Sretensky Monastry version!!!!! GOOD JOB THOUGHT
As a native Russian speaker I'd like to say, that the King's Singers Russian is very convincing! upd: yes, technically it is church slavonic, but still, it is very close: if you translate this prayer to modern Russian, no roots would change, only endings and a couple of conjunctions
Isn't it Church Slavonic though? There are a few differences (and they do it justice I think). I'm not an expert however, but I've studied a little bit of Russian (I'm Polish) and sung in Church Slavonic (including this piece).
@@annar.5341 It is Church Slavonic. They are singing the word твоѥ, which does correspond to Russian твое, but is not pronounced the same. Some other differences to listen for: words that don't exist or are archaic in Russian (like иже in the opening line); giving full value to each vowel, whereas Russian reduces unstressed vowels; pronouncing -ого as written instead of Russian -ово, etc.
Отче наш, Иже еси́ на небесе́х! Да святи́тся имя Твое́, да прии́дет Ца́рствие Твое, да будет воля Твоя, я́ко на небеси́ и на земли́. Хлеб наш насу́щный даждь нам днесь. и оста́ви нам до́лги наша, я́коже и мы оставля́ем должнико́м нашим. и не введи́ нас во искушение, но изба́ви нас лука́ваго. Амин. Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie. Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Adding the wonderful humility of heart which allows us to sing more beautifully - even in a heavenly way. Perfect pitch allows this combination of sounds, but the one heart joined makes this a perfect combination of heaven and earth...
I am stunned by the quality of singing. It is both beautiful and profoundly moving. Thank you for sharing this. 1:53 is a point at which it feels like angels have descended to sing on earth.... simply exquisite.
Hi Barry Richardson, this is a prayer. And they DO bring across this prayerful inward turned attitude of silent "movement" toward the higher realms of reality. This is indeed the purpose of music during (orthodox) liturgy: We turn inward and UP, raising our own vibes toward God and thus creating an opening, a way, for the angels to turn "down-ward", toward our human world of temporary sojourn. This is one of my favorite prayers with this particular tune. So comforting... A genuine blessing, carrying healing properties in its harmonies & beauty. Wishing you all the best, Barry.
*UTTERLY SUBLIME* yet again KS, sending our spirits soaring skyward, lifting the gloom of these weird times and soothing many weary souls.. Pure unadulterated bliss.. Thank you Chaps, another gorgeous post for us all to listen, watch and enjoy.. Best wishes from Wales..
However it is not in the Russian Orthodox tradition to finish this prayer with "Amen" as there is a priest's exclamation following it, which should be answered with "Amen", but not the actual prayer. But the vocal range of the bass is impressive indeed.
Absolutely fantastic. Beatiful music perfectly executed. King's Singers, as usual, Numero 1. Ciao from italy. PS: the final Bass note is unbelieveble. Speachless.
Maravilhoso grupo! E que música incrível é essa? Choro ao ouvir! Por favor, me dê. Informações sobre a música, autor, arranjo e o significado das palavras, Grata por receber essa postagem! Sou do Brasil, regente de Coral. Muito obrigada.
so beautiful! amazing that you were able to be so perfectly blended while in different homes!?! Your sound engineer played a great part, i'm sure, but what a beautiful blend!
I am just so moved by this music. It is all I can do to hold back the tears.I truly enjoy that you post music together with your voices. That way I can follow along. Keep posting please BRAVO
Gostaria de saber a tradução da letra. Canto profundo e maravilhoso. Vocês tem a minha admiração! Eu vivo em São Paulo, Brasil. Longe de vocês mas sigo vocês e amo ouvir. Parabéns 👏👏👏
Beautiful. I've had the privilege of singing some portions of the Rachmaninoff Vespers with our choir & there's just something about sacred music sung in Russian that's so moving.
Chanter avec les "King's Singers" ! Quel bonne idée, j'ai l'impression de faire partie du groupe ! Mais quand est-ce qu'on va vous revoir en France à Lyon ou à Paris ? En attendant vous êtes formidables et c'est un plaisir de vous écouter !!

Thank you, King’s Singers, for an amazingly beautiful rendition of Kedrov’s masterpiece.
Потрясающее исполнение! Слышно каждую партию! Спасибо большое !!!!!🙏

The composer was a pope!
Обалдеть, какой правильный подход к звуку!!!! Спаси Вас БОГ!!!! Просто невороятное исполнение!!!!
Превасходно поют и произносят хорошо.
Amazing... beautiful... we will be singing it at our wedding...
It was only when I saw "khleb nash" that I realized it was the Our Father. How very beautiful! Спасибо!
"khleb nash" it is "our bread" as you see it is written in lower case because "our Lord" would be "Otche nash" which is the name of this piece in literal translation it is "Lord of our's"
Russian pronunciation is nearly perfect!

Thank you King Singers for helping me learn the Slavonic version of "Our Father." This is truly a lovely version and their singing is the best.
Church Slavonic. And..althoufh very nice version, it is not the vest; listen ro Russian choirs....

2+ minutes of pleasure! Thank you. Definitely you need to turn to russian choir music, especially late 20 c., as there a lot of hidden treasures.
I had found one recording of this years ago, and struggled to find a newer recording. Well, this is like an answered prayer
Oh so so so beautiful. Please, more like this.

Russian diction was great! Please do more of the fabulous Russian choral rep. Noëlle Mann's edition of Russian Sacred Music is a great place to look.
I wouldn't call it "Russian diction"...
It's actually Old Slavonic. An older cousin of modern Russian (not its direct predecessor), which however influenced Russian greatly.

What bass? That line lays the foundation, not the chirpy tenor.
