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!
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!
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.
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
"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"
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.
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.
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!
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.
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...
*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.
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.
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!
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

Girl, you explained choral writting in 2 sentences, good job and good ear!
@@vetlerradio thank you.

Превасходно поют и произносят хорошо.

Please, do not compare...it is not fair. They si g it very good
Thank you, King’s Singers, for an amazingly beautiful rendition of Kedrov’s masterpiece.
Красиво, и благоговейно! Так и продолжайте!!!
Beautiful ! Very nice and very clean slavic pronunciation 🤗.
Greetings from Croatia .
Hervorragend interpretiert! Ihr seid Spitze Männer!
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....
Finally good pronunciation that sounds like Slavic! The singing of course super.
PL. Dziękuję serdecznie, za to wspaniale wykonanie Modlitwy Pańskiej.
Feel like in a small Russian village in church :-) this is just wow.. 😍😳
Ohhhh... My heart cries with grateful tears! Absolute harmony! Amazing! Heaven will certainly hear this prayer! Thanks a lot! Большое спасибо!
Большое спасибо.. many thanks....
Даже и произношение не плохое...молодцы !

Great balance and harmony put to beauty

What a beautiful song.. the flow of of the song is mesmerizing. This is a song that i could listen too over nd over
It is not song. Тhis is the prayer "Our Father"
Неожиданно. Молодцы
Magnifique,..MercI..

What a class act!

I'm a puddle. That was beautiful!
Heaven has his angles singing here on Earth
That was so beautiful! I love it!
so easy to sing and yet so wonderful.
Wow! I love the kings singers very much, and as a russian hope, that they will visit our counry.
Thanks for letting me sing along with you!
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.
