Product Description
A solemn and soothing a cappella piece for men's chorus, based on a traditional hymn from the Orthodox Memorial Service and composed for a friend's sudden and unexpected passing away.
It utilizes subtly varied, yet restrained harmonizations and textures, and is mostly faithful to the Byzantine style, with a few discrete incursions into quartal harmony. Appropriate for the Orthodox church service and for choral groups, schools and students, too. Duration: 3 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.
Text (Romanian original): "Cu sfinţii odihneşte, Hristoase, sufletul adormitului robului Tău, unde nu este durere, nici întristare, nici suspin, ci viaţă fără de sfârşit." (English translation) "O Christ, with the saints give rest to the soul of Thy servant, where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting."
