St. Tikhon's Mixed Choir
A recording of Dn. Sergei Trubachev's male choir arrangement of the Valaam Chant "O Gladsome Light" with improvised female doubling, sung at Vespers for the Great Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God.
The text is as follows:
O Gladsome Light of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly, holy, blessed Father, O Jesus Christ. Having come to the setting of the sun, having beheld the evening light, we praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- God. Meet it is for Thee at all times to be hymned with rev'rent voices, O Son of God, Giver of Life, wherefore the world doth glorify Thee.
