Ukrainian Music Choir "Vidrodgennia". Mykola Leontovych. Church music.

You have not listened to this disc yet? Then, listen to it by all means. Try and taste it. Quite possible that it would become a real event, an event of your inner life. Can real events be different, especially since we are talking about spiritual compositions? No doubt, the St. Ioann Zlatoust liturgy has become a real Ukrainian classical music. You could have heard it more than once, been proposed by us and performed by various choirs. In general, today this musical composition of M. Leontovich is included into repertoires of practically every choir of Ukraine. It is difficult to believe that not long ago this name was written imperceptibly in the records of oblivion. By the way, it was the choir "Vidrodzhennya" ("Revival") that discovered "Lliturgy..." for Ukrainian public in the 80-th of the previous century, though in those times it was often performed by Ukrainian choirs of the USA and Canada. Still, this disc contains other spiritual compositions of M. Leontovich, most of which were unknown not only in Ukraine, but also for Ukrainian diaspora abroad. They were unknown until they were revived by "Revival" (sorry for a poor pun). Yes, today it is already a part of History as well. Though... sometimes it seems to me that History as it is exists and takes place only thanks to the fact that there exist things, compositions and events, which are beyond History and which take place in themselves, as, for example, these spiritual compositions of M. Leontovich. Real events, after all, are always inner events, aren’t they?
