Lyrics:
Bogoróditse dyévo, raduisya,
Blagodatnaya Mariye
Gospod s Toboyu.
Blagoslovenna Ty v zhenakh,
I blagosloven plod chreva Tvoyevo,
Yako Spasa rodila yesi dush nashikh.
Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos,
Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb,
For you have borne the Savior of our souls.

from an interview: "While Pärt was perfectly happy to answer my questions about his work list, which pieces had been withdrawn for revision, and so on, he responded to questions about his music by giving me Archimandrite Sophrony’s weighty hardback tome, Saint Silouan the Athonite. “If you want to understand my music,” he told me, “read this.” The music, you inferred, must speak for itself."

@haugwi01 It's the correct sound to a choir: shinning. That' why the pitch are so perfect.

Second piece by John Tavener - too good for Rutter!
