notes

The Saint Elijah Church, situated in Podol district of Kyiv, is the first Russian Orthodox church ever built. According to legend, it was built by the Prince Askold and Dir long before the baptizing of Kyiv Rus. The Saint chronicler Nestor writes about this event in his Fable of Ancient Times.

In 988 The Great equel to Apostle Prince Vladimir began baptizing the people of Kyiv Rus near this church on the banks of the Dnieper River.

And now this church, though small in size is a favourite place for praying for the Kyivites. On the 19th of December 1996 the child choir began to sing for the glory of God.

The children regularly take part in Sunday and festive liturgies and has become an integral part of ther life. The child choir also has consert activities. During a short time of its existence it won the All-Ukranian (1997, the town of Rivne) and International (1998, the town of Eupatoria) festivals.

In this album you can hear both little-known old spiritual songs of the 16-17th centuries and traditional and authors spirituel hymns of liturgies of the 18th beginning of the 20th centuries.

Special attention should be paid to old Ukranian cantical part of the album where warm feelings of Ukranian people to God are particularly expressed. The choir has become the first Orthodox childrens choir of Kyiv after almost a one hundred years interval.

    Uplifting music to listen to when I am in a spiritual mood as well as when I am not and in need of inspiration!

  • angelic
    author: patricia

    this cd is how i perceive the angels to sing!

  • author: Patrice Repusseau

    This music is inspiring, ever so high and clean. It is a pity the songs are often rather short !

  • purifying music
    author: james cao

    I picked up this jewel when listening to Magtune's podcast. Cannot believe my luck in encoutering this music. Esp. "O merciful mother". Bought the CD as a gift to someone.

  • wow.
    author: seela

    This disc is pure beauty and magic...and it makes a great gift. Buy one for everyone you know. They're only 5$ each if you buy 3 or more. If that's not a bargain, I don't know what is.

  • Angelic Kids
    author: Den Mark Wichar

    These Uke kids are likely quite "normal" when not singing in church, but when they ARE singing in church, they sound like angels.

  • Talented Kids!
    author: TraderTif

    Very nice to listen to, very soothing. These kids are very talented, and the music is quietly haunting.

  • Heartsoaring beauty
    author: diane

    This is a stunning, glorious work of liturgical wonder. I play it over and over and find my heart in rapture.
