Dale Warland Singers: Spaseniye Sodelal


An Advent YouTube gift for this day, bringing yet more splendor lucis to my soul: *Spaseniye Soledal, a Kievan Synodal Chant by Pavel Chesnokov (translation: Salvation is created in the midst of the earth, O God, O our God. Alleluia.)

Click on the above photo to watch and hear this wonder.

*This video is mis-named - Otche Nash is an 'Our Father'.

The Dale Warland Singers is perhaps the finest choral group ever. His artistry and choice of spirit-slaying repertoire had a profound influence on me. With his retirement, the group has disbanded, rather than finding a new leader.
