  • From our homes during isolation, we recorded this beautiful setting of The Lord's Prayer. The setting is by the Russian composer Nikolay Kedrov (1871 - 1940), who spent his life in St. Petersburg, Berlin and in Paris. The setting comes from his larger work 'Liturgy of St John Chrysostom'.

    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.

      "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"

    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!

    • @marias.6955

      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.

    As a native Russian speaker I'd like to say, that the King's Singers Russian is very convincing!

      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.

    I am Czech and I understand almost 90% of the text in Czech it is called "Otce Nas" we are Slavic, our language is Slavic same like Russians, Polish, Serbs, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Belarusians and I am sad, when I see the war in Ukraine and killing Slavic nations, we should keep together as a Slavs and not go against each other, we have same roots, we are Slavic brothers!!!! Let us united Slavic brothers against Anglo -Saxons and Germans who always wanted us as slaves! Hope God will see the same and let us one day live in peace and united Slavic brothers!

      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.

    Wow. My son just chose choir as his music elective for 5th grade and I was looking for videos where there was a score as well as lyrics he could start following along with. And I came upon this after watching Down to the River to Pray. Simple, lush and moving. It took me back to when I first heard the Rachmaninoff Vespers for the first time. Kings Singers - you have a real chance to impact choral music education with this format. Start a series - tiered by level. It doesn't even have to be music you would perform. I would pay $$ for this. In the meantime, thank you!
