Ты моя крепость, Господи!
Ты моя и сила,
Ты мой Бог!
Ты мое радование!
Не оставль недра Отча и нашу нищету посетив...
Тем с пророком Аввакумом зову Ти:
Слава силе твоей, Человеколюбче...
Крепость Олавинлинна,построенная в XV веке шведами на территории Финляндии, была в свое время и русской цитаделью. Она стоит на маленьком островке прямо на скале, в окружении воды.... Поразительна ее суровая простая красота.
Православное песнопение Чеснокова "Господь, Крепость моя" звучит в исполнении Санкт-Петербургского хора Храма Успения Пресвятой Богородицы

The Lord, My Fortress
(Orthodox chant)
Castle Olavinlinna, built by Swedes in Finland in the XVc., was also a Russian stronghold once. It is built on a small rocky island. Its severe and simple beauty is amazing.
The Orthodox chant by Chesnokov 'The Lord, My Fortress' is performed by the Choir of the Cathedral of the Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary , St. Petersburg.

Works of Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky....
Ivan Aivazovsky was born in Feodosia in 1817. In 1833 he entered the Academy of Arts and studied landscape painting under M.N. Vorobiev.
Aivazovsky spent most of his life in Feodosia, the city where he was born. Aivazovsky himself was accomplished in many areas, played the violin, was an architect, dabbled in archeology, etc.
Throughout his long life Aivazovsky traveled much, spending time in Rome, Paris and other European cities; working in the Caucasus; sailing to the shores of Asia; spending time in Egypt and, at the end of his life, in 1898, Aivazovsky even traveled to America. No matter where he went he always returned to his native Black Sea shores.
Aivazovsky painted some six thousand works over his sixty-year career. They all show him to be a true master with a bright artistic temperament.
Aivazovsky developed a romantic vein in the landscape connected with effects of light and atmosphere. The main theme of Aivazovsky's work is the theme of man and nature, man's struggle against the elements and love of nature. During war times his paintings depicted battle scenes.
Aivazovsky's most popular paintings are The Rainbow (1873) and The Ninth Wave (1850).

P.I.Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Glory to be Thee / Слава Тебе, Господи!
Liturgy of St.John Chrysostom for Mixed Choir a capella, Op.41
The Choir under V.Polyansky
- - -
this is the earlest Tchaikovsky's sacred composition.
Recording of this work was made in an outstanding architectural monument possessing unique accoustics - the Cathedral of Dormition in Smolensk.
The liturgical compositions of Russian composers are still virtually unknown in the West. Rachmaninoff's Vespers has just about managed to creep out of the silence, though his Liturgy of St John Chrysostom remains virtually unknown. Gretchaninov's choral works gather dust. And one of Tchaikovsky's supreme masterpieces, his own setting of the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, has hardly troubled the musical consciences of his thousands of admirers, perhaps because its very Russian-ness - this is not the Tchaikovsky of the perennial favourites. Yet it is unarguably essential Tchaikovsky, and it's the work of his that moves me beyond all others.
Like the Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky's Liturgy of St John Chrysostom was archaic even when it was written, in 1878 (at the same time as Eugene Onegin). Its tone is very obviously that of Old Russia, and has much the same relation to Russia's musical past as, say, Vaughan Williams' church music has to England's. The music, in fifteen short sections, ranges from the magnificent choral sweep that begins the work, to moments of rapt, still intensity. And for all the deliberate antiquity of the style, there are on occasion striking moments of what might appear musical modernism (there are, for example, some biting dissonances) but which, in fact, anchor the music all the more firmly in the past: if Vaughan Williams evokes the sixteenth century, Tchaikovsky's references are directly late-mediaeval. He accordingly has nothing to do with anything so anachronistic as tunes: the music moves great slabs of sound based on chant. One of the few concessions to "modern" compositional technique is the fugue in the penultimate section - and that a fugue, an archetypically archaising musical device, can sound "modern" tells you a lot about the context in which this one finds itself. The score as a whole is a huge edifice of sound: although at no point does it come to meet the listener in the way that Tchaikovsky's other works can do, it is nonetheless deeply moving, and as profound as anything he composed.
The performance is of the first order: even under Soviet rule, Russian choirs were among the best in the world, and this one, recorded in (it seems) 1990, is outstandingly good. The recording was made in the ideally suited acoustic of the Cathedral of Dormition in Smolensk, in whose massive interior Tchaikovsky's massive conception can be heard reverberating into the distance. This is, in short, one of the finest recordings and performances of any piece of music I have come across for a long time.

"Where is my fair one,
Where dwells my beloved,
Where rests my delight,
In what land is my flower?
....No music is heard from the far forests,
No birdsong from the hills.
If my beloved were walking there,
My flower,
My own darling,
My bright one wandering,
The hill stops would answer
The sound of my horn,
The far forest would resound
And every hillock with birdsong....."
The photos were made by me on the 5th and 7th of January in Savonlinna and Imatra (Finland)
Enjoy!

"Oh, serene light"

-------------------------------------
замечательный древний гимн "Свете Тихий", одно из главных песнопений вечерни, восходящее ко II или III веку. Это текст созерцательного характера, от света заходящего солнца возносящий нас к размышлению о Христе, Свете Немеркнущем и Незаходящем. Господь назван в нем "Свете Тихий святыя славы Бессмертного Отца Небеснаго": "Свете Тихий святыя славы Бессмертнаго Отца Небеснаго, Святаго, Блаженнаго, Иисусе Христе! Пришедше на запад солнца, видевше свет вечерний, поем Отца, Сына и Святаго Духа Бога. Достоин еси во вся времена пет быть гласы преподобными. Сыне Божий, живот даяй; темже мир Тя славит".
