Blagosloven yeci, Gospodi by Sergei Rachmaninoff — Lyrics
Благословен еси, Господи, научи мя оправданием Твоим.
Ангельский собор удиви ся, зря Тебе в мертвых вменившася, смертную же, Спасе, крепость разоривша, и с собою Адама воздвигша и от ана вся свобождша.
Благословен еси, Господи, научи мя оправданием Твоим.
Почто мира с милостивными слезами, о ученицы растворяете? Блистаяйся во гробе, Ангел ше: видите вы гроб и уразумейте: Спас бо воскре от гроба.
Благословен еси, Господи, научи мя оправданием Твоим.
Эело рано мироносицы течаху ко предста к ним Ангел и рече: рыдания время преста, не платнте воскресение же апостолом рцыте.
Благословен еси, Господи, научи мя оправданием Твоим.

About Blagosloven yeci, Gospodi
This powerful Sacred work by Sergei Rachmaninoff is set in Church Slavonic for SSAATTBB choir. Its text is drawn from Orthodox Christian liturgy, with a focus on the Resurrection of Christ. The lyrics describe the astonishment of the angelic host at Christ's victory over death, the lament of the Myrrh-bearing women at the tomb, and their subsequent joy upon hearing the news of the Resurrection. Rachmaninoff's setting would suit a concert programme or a significant liturgical occasion, perhaps during the Easter season, offering a profound and moving choral experience.
