    Music by Rupert Lang
    Text from the Eastern Orthodox Liturgy
    From the CD 'Earth Teach Me' available on iTunes

    Give rest unto your servants with your saints, O God.
    Where there is neither pain nor sorrow, neither sighing, but life everlasting.
    For you, God only are immortal; the creator and the maker of us all,
    And we are mortal formed of the earth, and to the earth we shall return.
    For so did you ordain when you created me saying:
    "You are dust, and to dust you shall return.
    All of us go down to the dust, yet even at the grave we make our song:
    Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia."

    Missing you so much tonight Gary. Have not listened to this since we sang it at your funeral in March. I know you are resting with the saints.

    This was sung at Christchurch this morning. A whisper of the peace and beauty of Christ united with his people.

    This song always gives me chills when I hear it. I had the privilege of singing it in a Music one year and pictured in my mind what was happening when the alleluias were being sung was the first part was mourners around the casket being lowered into the ground. When the higher alleluias begin angels are singing as well. :)

    In November in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Eight, in Smithers, BC, a good man joined his wife and his God. The Kontakion was played, as sung here. Ken Wright's daughter brought the music with her from Vanovuer, as she's a member of the Catherdal's choir there. RIP, old friend.

    Rupert, You played & the choir sang your most beautiful & moving composition at Dad’s Celebration of Life in 2011. When I think about Dad, I think about Kontakion because he loved it so much!

    So beautiful. Was rehearsing this to sing later this Spring when when the pandemic arrived in Canada.

    You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! It's beautiful, isn't it? I was fortunate enough to sing it with this same choir when I lived in Vancouver for a few months. Brings back some wonderful memories.

    Just listened to Chor Leoni perform this tonight, again for the Remembrance Day performance. Always beautiful to hear, enough to bring tears, especially with the inclusion of the trumpet towards the end- amazing.

    Our college choir sang this song years ago, but I didn't have a good recording of it and couldn't find the composer. Thank you so much for posting this! I am so glad to know it is available on iTunes!

    Ah yes, Rupert Lang. It was Grade 9 in Mr. DD Cake class at a fundraiser auction, I outbid Ken Cooper to win Rupert's guinea pig, much to the chagrin of my Mother. Rupert was a cool guy with his ducktailed blonde hair. Fortunately he moved out of Nelson not much later, so I got to date his previous girlfriend, Dena Calbeck. Rupert was a good AYPA member in the Nelson Anglican Church, along with Alan Ryall, Jim Massey, Linda Lee, Brian Clarkson and Dena.
