It was the first “unified musical cycle” of settings of the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, one of the central eucharistic services of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The core of the text is attributed to Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople in the 5th century. “A vast and untrodden field of activity lies open to composers here,” wrote Tchaikovsky to a friend regarding the text. In a letter to his close patron, Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky mentioned the “poetic” meaning he found in attending church services: At the time, Russian church officials were quick to censor and ban the performance of new settings of sacred texts they found unacceptable. Much of Tchaikovsky’s Liturgy was quickly confiscated by the director of the Imperial Chapel in Saint Petersburg. Tchaikovsky’s publisher, Pyotr Jurgenson, entered into a long legal battle and eventually won. ---- This chant was performed by St. Peter St. Paul Cathedral Choir of Minsk #Minsk ---- Chant text in church Slavonic: Иже херѹвимы тайнѡ ѡбразѹюще, и животворѧщей Троицѣ трисвѧтую пѣснь припѣвающе, Всѧкое нынѣ житейское отложимъ попеченіе. Ꙗкѡ да Царѧ всѣхъ подъимемъ, аггельскими невидимѡ дорѵносима чинми. Аллилѹіа
