@@madamvaudelune3298 In the Byzantine era it seems that at the Patriarchates has been repeated the story of the Archangels. There are and other stories which i know (these other stories with people, not with angels, in which there is the possibility a person to be protagonist) which have taken place in a season and these have taken place again in a later season, the history is repeated. Five were the Archangels, the following and in order of honorary positions: samael, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. The one of them, who had the first place of honor, ie samael, wanted to get the glory of God and he fell. In that the Archangels are four, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel, and in that the order of their honorary positions is Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel, is clearly seen from the vision of Saint Nephon (of the 4th century) about the Second Advent of Christ, who was and friend of Athanasios the Great. Five were the old Patriarchates (in the Byzantine era) with their Patriarchs (these five Patriarchates now called "senior" [Greek: πρεσβυγενή, presbygene, "senior-born"] or "ancient" [Greek: παλαίφατα, palaiphata, "of ancient fame"]), the following and in order of honorary positions: The patriarchate of Rome, the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Patriarchate of Alexandria, the Patriarchate of Antioch and the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. In one of these, its patriarch, who had the first place of honor, ie the pope, wanted to get the glory of Christ, of the stone on which is founded the Church of Christ, and he fell. The Patriarchates of Constantinople, of Alexandria, of Antioch and of Jerusalem, all four Patriarchates, broke communion with the patriarchate of Rome. (From the 5 Patriarchates the 4 were wrong and the 1 was right? And from the 5 Archangels the 1 fell and no the 4.) In 1054 AD when the schism took place, the Patriarch of Constantinople had the same name as the Archangel Michael, then Patriarch of Constantinople was Michael Cerularius. Ιn the revelation of John in 12:7-9 we read for the war between Archangel Michael and satan and for the fall of Lucifer (the revelation of John is an enigmatic book and for this reason correlates the two facts of the fall of Lucifer and the kingdom of antichrist in one, even though the first fact took place much earlier). This story reminds and the story in 1054 AD of the Churches of Constantinople and Rome and the war which took place in 1054 AD between the Churches of Constantinople and Rome and the fall of Church of Rome. The story of the archangels and of the patriarchates reminds and the story of the disciples of Christ and it seems that the story of the archangels has been repeated and at the disciples of Christ. ~~~According to saint Nephon's vision about the Second Coming of Christ, in addition to the 4 archangels with their orders, in other group there were and another 7 orders of angels.~~~ 12 were all the orders of angels and the 1 fell. 12 were the disciples of Christ and the one, Judas, perished. Maybe Judas because of his name (reminds the tribe of Judah, the Judeans) and because he had the treasury of Christ he had the first place of honor among the disciples of Christ, but because he betrayed the Christ he is written last among the disciples of Christ in the Bible.
I am a devoted Muslim but I want to share a very interesting memory of mine. I was listening to some gospels and chants, then I came upon Pascha Nostrum. From the very first seconds of it, I time travelled to a church in India and came back in a second. This was one of the most mysterious things in my life which I still couldn't find an explanation.
I am an American and what is strange this is my favorite hymn sung in Russian by a Russian choir praising the same Lord and is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I'm not orthodox I am actually a African American Southern Baptist, but your lack of music instruments in your traditional doctrine has created some of the most beautiful music in the world.
Human voice is already tho most powerfull instrument. Angels on Heaven are always in uninterrupted singing and praising the Lord, without the instruments. Because of that, orthodox tradition follows Heavens and don't use instruments (except church bells, if we think of them as instruments).
It is because the greatest instrument of all was not one created by man, but the human voice. The instrument created by God. become orthodox, it is the best decision you will ever make. peace to you and all of your family

Hola hermano! Feliz Navidad! Tu has topado aquí con una de las más fantásticas, geniales e inigualables interpretaciones de esta música hecha por la gran mezzo rusa Irina Arkhípova. Es una suerte para mi también hoy que es Navidad! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Dios te quiere hermano!
I don't understand the discussion about religion, translations etc instead of just listening to this unbelievably beautiful choir. I personally could care less what the religion is of the people who sang so gorgeously. As a former chorus singer myself, I find this base section of this choir absolutely to "die" for. This entire piece moved me to tears. Bravo Russian singers.
I'm not embarrassed to confess I've hear this song through my headphones at the coffee shop almost every day since I first heard this several moths ago. It's glorious and and transports me out of this world long enough to settle my soul!
Imagine walking into a huge spacious cathedral and hearing this, people used to come together in this kind of environment, it elevates everyone above the normal suffering of life, it makes the king as well as the peasant feel expansive and full of awe. It was a collective spiritual experience that raised people's mind into a good place.
Some years back some westerners asked an Indian poorna avatar "Swami, what can we in the west do to come back to our spiritual heritage again?" HE answered them "Listen to your old spiritual composers." So right, so right. This music lift me up to the divine Creator and help me to understand, who I really am. A sparkel of God. Bless you all.
Here, the spirituality of the composer is made apparent by his great music. A devout Orthodox Christian during his life, Rachmaninov is buried in a Russian Orthodox cemetery in Upstate New York. This beautiful performance is a tribute to a great man and his music.
I have memorized this whole CD the Vespers by Rachmaninov in Russian. I pledged that as a praise to God who has helped me in so many ways through His son Jesus Christ. My mother was a Russian Jew - lost many of her family to the Nazi Germans and I am so grateful to have this blood going through my veins. I put up with a lot of ridicule and hateful slurs but I stand proud.
We are all one people no matter where we come from, let all what you family endured make you strong and never mind the hate that is in some people, I never worry over what other's say because believe in my faith and God, take care
People are never the same my sweet lady,don't matter who we are or wherever we come from, there is badness in what ever background or religion, long as you have faith and belief nothing else matters, God has taken care of those who suffered by ignorance from those who aren't good people,good that you remember who you are and where you come from, take care
Actually, the Jews (biblical Israelites), originated from Ur, which I believe was a part of Asia Minor. The ancient Celts (Irish), also originated from Ur. Should we not love and respect one another?

Even after listening to this piece at least thirty times, I can't handle how gorgeous it is. I'm usually not even the biggest fan of many alto soloists.. but this recording is beautiful.
Yes - modern Catholic hymns are the bottom of the barrel - Boots and Saddle garbage. This is incomparable - totally different from the glories of Renaissance and Baroque Western music sacred music of Bach, Palestrina, Gabriel, etc, but equally moving and beautiful.
It is, everyday, in Slavonic Orthodox Churches and monestaries. The Greek Orthodox, Syriac, Antiochian, Armenian, and Coptic, as well as the Orthodox Churches in America, sound a bit different, but just as beautiful, and every single day, at least once.
@@barbaratrehy4742 Don't get me started. The church that gave us music like Palestrina's now has dumbed it down in the name of 'accessibility'. This is exactly backwards - for many people, the one spot of beauty in the week was the language and music of the church service. It's not meant to be 'accessible' it's meant to be something to be a little outside of the day to day experience.
@@ianboard544 Yes! I am Eastern Orthodox. If a baseball fan were to go to a cricket match and say that he didn't understand that game and so it should become like baseball, the cricket fans and players would regard this as very selfish.

Blessed art thou, O Lord. The waters stand upon the mountains. Marvellous are thy works, O Lord. In wisdom hast thou made all things. Glory to thee, O Lord, who hast created all.
This is the best rendition of this piece I've ever heard. The soloist is superb, and, of course, the choral support is incredible. Thanks be to Almighty God.
"These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in his temple" Revelations 7:14. In memory of all the martyrs of communism, in Russia and beyond. May their exemple keeps on inspiring the future generations.
+Андрей Соколов Communism stands for the opposite to all Christian values, and to everything truly Orthodox. So anticommunism is perfectly natural here.
+peter scheunemann: Mankind will never be "mature" enough, and it will never happen. The problem is not "maturity"; the problem is sin. Communism is godless. Without God, there will be no true peace and unity of humanity. Man does not need Communism. He needs redemption.
There is NOTHING like a choir blessed with several deep basses (oktavists) able to sing the low tones in so many Russian choral music masterpieces. What a fine choir this is, bringing us to a devotion so far beyond mere notes! Even the atheists comment on how this touches them....
What can be better than Truth & Beauty... together, in unity, Praising the One Triune God? Peace & Blessings to All, esp my Orthodox Brothers & Sisters.

Bobby McCray they both know his Destiny so she is sad, but he as he is love by nature as a baby hugs her with love to relieve her Pain also showing that family os the most important, love nevera dies. He as a God won't die only fusycally, i think there is something more its like they feel our Pain, the wars and how unfair os the world. There are Angels also sad, becouse they kniw the suffering of this world. This is the Mother of Russia too. Particularly this Icon represent Mary as protector of Russia as Russia is a womán too so many people idntify Saint Mary as a protector of Russia and thin chant also

As a child I had a deep fascination for the Russians. The Soviet Union was another thing, but I wanted to know everything about the Russians and their culture... esp. their religious choral music, and music by composers Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky and Prokofiev.
How you show your love for God is how you show love for your neighbor. A child in a group once asked a monk if he'd ever seen God. The monk replied, "Oh, you can see God", and looking at the child and the group he continued, "and He looks just like you, and you, and you, etc."

@@barbaratrehy4742 Don't get me started. The church that gave us music like Palestrina's now has dumbed it down in the name of 'accessibility'. This is exactly backwards - for many people, the one spot of beauty in the week was the language and music of the church service. It's not meant to be 'accessible' it's meant to be something to be a little outside of the day to day experience.
@@ianboard544 Yes! I am Eastern Orthodox. If a baseball fan were to go to a cricket match and say that he didn't understand that game and so it should become like baseball, the cricket fans and players would regard this as very selfish. What goes on in a church ought to be different from what goes on outside a church. The outside world should be influenced by the Church. The Church should not resemble the world.
What a voices, like angels, now 15 march 2020 Corona virus is all over the world, also in my country the Netherlands, I wish all the people who suffer all the best. Keep faith, comfort you with this beautiful music. I pray for Italy.
Music is an universal language. Human voice is the first instrument. All of us can understand the religious spirit in this marvellous music.
The greatest, most beautiful art mankind has created was to praise God.
well said, be blessed!
Indeed.
God bless you!
... le plus bel art ... oui.
dandelion25 as the darkness releases to the light may we all release ourselves into the joyous abundance our Sweet Lord with the aid of the Theotokos ignites within each to share love healing us and all within His Powers
Belíssima música! Me remete ao sagrado! Deus abençoe os que o escutam.
It is heavenly music. All glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
+Gary Gillespie Amen! "now and ever..."
And unto ages of ages! +++
Amen
Wszystkie skarby co są w Niebie, Bóg stworzył Matko dla Ciebie...
Gary Gillespie amen
What a marvellous music! Such an intense devotion!
i went looking for the lyrics translation, think this is it:
BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, blessed art thou, O Lord.
O Lord my God, thou art very great.
Thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Blessed art thou, O Lord.
The waters stand upon the mountains.
Marvellous are thy works, O Lord.
In wisdom hast thou made all things.
Glory to thee, O Lord, who hast created all.
БЛАГОДАРИМ ЗА ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ ПРИКОСНУТЬСЯ К ПРЕКРАСНОМУ ,ВЕЧНОМУ !!!
I can't get enough of this song! Every single voice part in there is a masterpiece. The low bass voices are heavenly.
Praise our Lord. The sound of Heaven!
Russian Orthodox singing transports me from the Earth plane to some celestial ecstatic solemnity and deeply felt revelry 🙏🙏🙏
This is the best rendition of this piece I've ever heard. The soloist is superb, and, of course, the choral support is incredible. Thanks be to Almighty God.
Beautiful just beautiful. Much respect and peace.
Music that cleanses the soul 🙏
Beautiful. god bless the russian orthodox church, from an orthodox greek
Through this beautiful music we are connected with our Heavenly Father. Amazing music!
Just listen to the bass. Hits the low B with confidence. What a powerful, formidable sound.
Какая мощная сила голосов ! Просто душа с телом прощается от благости и восторга ! Спасибо за то , что выложили в ютьюб....
Thank You, Maestro Rachmaninoff, and then to the one who posted this wonderful music...Thank You!...
Thank You, Delphi333 and Happy Holidays....
What a beautiful song. Perhaps this is what heaven sounds like!
"These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in his temple"
Revelations 7:14.
In memory of all the martyrs of communism, in Russia and beyond. May their exemple keeps on inspiring the future generations.
It isn't a shame to be engaged to you in advertizing of anticommunism here?
+Андрей Соколов Communism stands for the opposite to all Christian values, and to everything truly Orthodox. So anticommunism is perfectly natural here.
+Vladimir Moss not all communists are athiests. Marxist-Leninists-Maoists on the other hand
beautifully said, thank you Marius.
+peter scheunemann: Mankind will never be "mature" enough, and it will never happen. The problem is not "maturity"; the problem is sin. Communism is godless. Without God, there will be no true peace and unity of humanity. Man does not need Communism. He needs redemption.
Thank you God for your many voices.
I love the way you articulate ..God's many voices.
There is NOTHING like a choir blessed with several deep basses (oktavists) able to sing the low tones in so many Russian choral music masterpieces. What a fine choir this is, bringing us to a devotion so far beyond mere notes! Even the atheists comment on how this touches them....
You don't need religion nor atheism to be touched by this
@@carlosmariosuarez5319 No, but you do need God
@@basedandchristpilled nope, you don't need any of that. You only need to be human
@@carlosmariosuarez5319 to be deeply and profoundly touched is to understand the origins, the history, and the story of the art.
@@basedandchristpilled that makes more sense
Какая тонкая душа у Сергея Рахманинова!
Да, он- Русский человек!
Низкий поклон!
What can be better than Truth & Beauty... together, in unity, Praising the One Triune God? Peace & Blessings to All, esp my Orthodox Brothers & Sisters.
Смотрю здесь только комментарии от жителей США и др. стран, это конечно, радует, что почитателей таланта такого композитора как Рахманинов, миллионы по всему миру. Хотела написать здесь от лица всех россиян!!!))) Это мой самый любимый композитор, его музыка заставляет трепетать сердце, на глазах наворачиваются слезы, т.к. ТАКОЕ мог написать человек, преданный своей стране, своей вере. Спасибо!
Вы говорите красивые вещи.
Да благословит вас Господь!
Много поздравлений из Италии.

Bravo,Bravo,Natali !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
к сожалению из-за советов у нас просто уничтожили эту часть русской культуры.
i love the orthodox church & i'm a protestant saying this
May your love spur your growth and bear fruit.
Spasibo! ☦️☦️☦️
I am too. But God is God and his Church his Church whatever label we put on it.
@@marketreviews74, Christ didn't die and resurrect for ambiguous philosophical theses. There is only one Lord, one faith and one baptism.
It magnifies God! Amen thank you Jesus
Prions le Seigneur de notre coeur !
"Благослови, душе моя, Господа и вся внутренняя моя Имя Святое Его..." (псалом 102 царя Давида)"Для него необходимым и достаточным доказательством существования Бога была Музыка" (Курт Воннегут)

I feel upon hearing this for the first time, that an important unarticulated question is answered.
what a precious faith we have with other worldly music. Talk about the Gift of talent in the realm of music.. A true gift from God. I can only imagine how much longer the services would be if all prayers were sung like this.. but it be worth every minute :)
Simplesmente divino. Gratidão ao grande compositor, aos cantores e a todos que possibilitam a divulgação de tudo que é belo. Saudações do Brasil.
¡Brillante interpretación de genial S. Rachmaninov! Bravo, gracias!
Beautiful. Glory to Jesus Christ.
Makes me feel like I'm in Heaven!
How can you be afraid of anything if you open your soul to this divine music?
So majestic, so beautiful
Volim te Bože moj. Slava tebje sada i uvek i u vek i vjekov.Amin 💗💗💓❤💒📿🙏
I wish I could speak this infinitely beautiful language. I live in Texas, so I have to use this pig grunt language called English. Zhivela Srbija zauvek i svako dobro zheli.
60 ans déjà que cet immense compositeur nous a quittés...
A beautiful picture of a mother that knows her child is destined to leave her and fulfill great things, notice how her hand isn't embracing him but very loosely.. as to say she won't get too close, and the baby jesus is reaching for her embrace yet she knows that one day she will loose him... Just a black man's interpretation ....
+Bobby McCray
Our Lady of Vladimir is the name of this much loved 12th century icon. It was painted in Constantinople and sent to Russia. Today it is located in the Tretiykov Gallery, Moscow.
+Mary Wilbur thank you for the info. as a glasspainter a copied this picture many times without knowing the Original name. I copied it on glass, stainedglass windows; during painting I very often was listening to this music by Rachmaninov
As an aside, an icon is not a "picture." It is a visual representation of the Heavenly Kingdom :)
Bobby McCray they both know his Destiny so she is sad, but he as he is love by nature as a baby hugs her with love to relieve her Pain also showing that family os the most important, love nevera dies. He as a God won't die only fusycally, i think there is something more its like they feel our Pain, the wars and how unfair os the world. There are Angels also sad, becouse they kniw the suffering of this world. This is the Mother of Russia too. Particularly this Icon represent Mary as protector of Russia as Russia is a womán too so many people idntify Saint Mary as a protector of Russia and thin chant also
This is the most beautiful choral song I've ever heard. Perfectly written, and perfectly performed. I am not religious, but really I don't think that even matters. Beauty is beauty, and love is love. Much love from Vancouver, Canada.
This is music which reverences the totally Other, the Origin of all created beauty.
You tube, I thank you
Glory to our God, Father Son and Holy Spirit, praise you and worship you and love you. Thank you. Hallelujah, Amen.
Нема ништа лепше и чистије од Православне Вере Наше ! Да нам Пресвета Богородица увек буде заштитница и чува нас.
Sve su vere lepe ako je srce čisto. Veliko srce prime sve vere... Nisam pravoslavne vere a mnogo volim Rahmanjinova... I volim sve dobro odakle god da je došlo... I dobru muziku...
Jesus, only Jesus! He’s alive!🙏✝️
How beautiful men can be when they allow their spirits to worship God
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
Yep too true!
As a metaphor for human condition:
Your Soul reaches to the gates of hell, and these are always open. Those who realise this, irrespective of their believe status, look to their purest emotion, the sliver of innocence for hope, protection and salvation from darkness...
UNKNOWN
There is salvation in only one, Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God. Who takes away the sins of the world.
Wow Great Comment.
It's s absolutely EPIC and FANTASTIC RECORD, by great mezzo Irina Archipova in the Smolensk Orthodox Cathedral 💖 SOVIET ART ❤️
Великолепное исполнение.
Самое лучшее в Истории! Это Архипова, это СССР!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@MsKecee You have blessed this song by listening to it and enjoying it so. God loves you. In the Orthodox faith, we believe that we were born to live in communion with God and a contrite and sorrowful heart is our sacrifice to him.
My heart wept as a child when I saw the Movie.....and to this day I am saddened.....Although I never knew you my soul did......Bless you Beloved Tsar Nicholas Alexandria and your dear children in Jesus I pray Amen
Божественно!
Magnifique, rien à redire. C'est jutes, cest équilibré, c'est profond, c'est beau. Magnifique, vraiment un immense bravo
Lyrics (from Psalm 103/104):
Amin.
Amen.
Blagoslovi, dushe moya, Gospoda.
Bless thou the Lord, O my soul.
Blagosloven yesi, Gospodi.
Blessed art thou, O Lord my God.
Gospodi Bozhe moy, vozvelichilsya yesi zelo.
O Lord my God, thou art become exceedingly glorious.
Blagosloven yesi, Gospodi.
Blessed art thou, O Lord my God.
Vo ispovedaniye i v velelepotu obleklsya yesi.
Thou art clothed with majesty and honor.
Blagosloven yesi, Gospodi.
Blessed art thou, O Lord my God.
Na gorakh stanut vody.
The waters stood above the mountains.
Divna dela Tvoya, Gospodi.
Marvelous are thy works, O Lord.
Posrede gor proydut vodi.
Among the hills flow the waters.
Divna dela Tvoya, Gospodi.
Marvelous are thy works, O Lord.
Vsya premudrostiyu sotvoril yesi.
In wisdom hast thou made them all.
Slava ti, Gospodi, sotvorivshemu vsya.
Glory to thee O Lord, who has made them all.
Thanks for the words. Have been looking for them for a while now.
The soloist is wonderful, as is the whole choir. Glorious really.
Esplendida música!!!
Maravilloso🌿
Esplendida, insuperable actuación del Coro. Totalmente espiritual.
Melodías como ésta compensan muchas tribulaciones y desconsuelos. Es como una promesa de que hay algo mejor que la vida en este mundo.
Multumesc pentru lacrimi...pentru curatare..Domne si Stapinul Vietii mele
As a child I had a deep fascination for the Russians. The Soviet Union was another thing, but I wanted to know everything about the Russians and their culture... esp. their religious choral music, and music by composers Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky and Prokofiev.
Русских не возможно уничтожить значит и культура будет жить
Ha!I'm just like you...,just finished listening to Tchaikovsky's "Hymn of the Cherubim";& now this!
maikl sotnikov Я думаю, что это замечательно.
Prego!
Real Russia is not Communist, real Russia is Orthodox!
How you show your love for God is how you show love for your neighbor. A child in a group once asked a monk if he'd ever seen God. The monk replied, "Oh, you can see God", and looking at the child and the group he continued, "and He looks just like you, and you, and you, etc."
Glory be to the most High, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
AMEN
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen! Hallowed be our savior, King of kings, Lord of lord's, Jesus Crhrist!!
