@@BenjaminGessel, yes, and O Magnum Mysterium by Tomas Luis de Victoria. One of my all-time favorite pieces I've ever sung in my 66 years as an almost lifelong choral singer. I sang it and Salvation is Created in my HS Concert Choir and can still hear it in my mind right now.

[@madisonhollingsworth7805]

I’m playing this piece as a band piece but honestly it’s more beautiful when a choir sings it especially one as powerful as this one! (What a bunch of powerhouses it’s amazing!)

[@MicahtheG]

Madison Hollingsworth I’m not sure where you are on your music experience but this is a piece that requires mature musicians. I was in band from 7th grade through college. The college marching band played this as a warm up and it was gorgeous! A middle school band or choir who’s member aren’t as experienced in managing breathing, dynamics, and intonation properly will NOT deliver the same performance as this group of singers.

[@dannychance1828]

We sang this when I was in high school. I was the lead of the male voices in our Chamber Singers group. Brings back so many memories. I was the first all state vocalist in my high school’s history. Almost brings a tear to my eye. I had so much pizzazz and drive back then. Lol

[@sueshuey8097]

From some of the comments here, and being a choral conductor myself, it has always been my belief that instrumentalist gain a better understanding of sensitivity of a phrase when they spend time singing in a choir. I was in both in all my schooling, and can attest first hand to a better band sound when band students sing in a choir (and they also become the "core" note-readers in a choir!). Beautiful song . . . phrases filled with deep emotion.

[@BenjaminGessel]

Hmmm... My experience has been maybe a tad different, but if you have very disciplined, focused, mature, musically serious teens, etc. in choirs, etc., yeah, choir becomes something very special indeed... Strings = Focused, polite, hard working, disciplined. Not chatty. Brass = A bit more boisterous than strings, but can be extremely focused and serious minded as well. Bigger on technical, loud, aggressive passages, etc. somewhat. The more mature the brass player, the greater the chance you will get expressive players, etc. Horns are particularly serious minded, most of them... Woodwinds = Double reeds are careful about their reeds and instruments. Similar to horns and strings-more serious musically, etc. in general. Flutes/clarinets = In between strings/double reeds/horns and saxes/trumpets/low brass/percussion, regarding focus and not being chatty, etc. Flutes often being a bit chattier, etc. Saxes = Jazz fans mostly, a bit more of the "rebel"... Percussion = Party time. Until about 11th grade or so, and only regarding those percussionists who are true musicians, etc. (The others are party party folks.) Choir? Again, my experience has been quite different... Teens in choir simply cannot zip it... No discipline whatsoever. College is a bit different, sure, but more principled and mature young adults are ALWAYS more enjoyable to work with, be around, sing with, etc.

[@jimhines5825]

agreed!

[@mamacatjane]

Sue Shuey, I agree, having sung in choir almost all my life and played clarinet in band from 4th grade through high school. I also remember that when my sons began band in 6th grade the director said he could really tell which students had prior choir and/or piano experience and appreciated them having that background; said it really gave them an edge or a headstart, especially in note-reading and basic musicality.

[@TeDeumChamberChoir]

Well said, Sue. Different skills get emphasized in the various musical ensembles, and each can inform the other in profound ways.

[@jassminperez4644]

In band it seems like a easy piece but it’s actually not as easy because to make the piece beautiful you have to have so much control with dynamics and if you pull it of it sounds amazing

[@TeDeumChamberChoir]

You are spot on with dynamic control and slow and thoughtful phrase shaping. Not easy, but worth the effort.

[@rusty0303]

[@musiclover148]

Right?!

[@pappanalab]

My highschool is singing this and its so challenging after 2 years of online choir. As a high soprano I can hit the high and loud notes no problem but what I really have to work for is the high and soft stuff. Dynamics are hard especially when your up at the top of your register but they’re what adds the magic.

[@fishey1371]

We’re singing this in chorus and they made me cry because of how beautiful they sound

[@musiclover148]

So powerfully beautiful. We sang this in high school choir in the '70's, believe it or not, and this instantly brought it all back. I hope listeners understand the true meaning of the message, namely, that salvation is created BY GOD for mankind, not by us for ourselves. The apostle Paul wrote to Titus, "But when the kindness and love of God our savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things WE had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified BY HIS GRACE (unmerited favor), we might become heirs, having the hope (certain expectation) of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying." Don't hear this deeply affecting music and then pass on without coming to know the One who loves you and wants you for Himself. Claim by faith the salvation HE has made possible and has freely provided for you.

"Salvation is Created" is a choral work composed by Pavel Chesnokov in 1912 as the fifth in his Ten Communion Hymns (Russian Orthodox Church). Text of the hymn: "Salvation is made in the midst of the earth, O God. Alleluia." Original text in Russian: "Cпасение coдeлaл еси посреде земли, Боже. Аллилуия." (Spaséniye sodélal yesí posredé ziemlí, Bózhe. Allilúiya.)

[@gracegorman3306]

I played bass clarinet in this. It was beautiful. We need to see ourselves as ensemble players rather than stunning soloists. The stunning soloist is Pavel Chesnokov. We are his earthly backing group.

[@vitral2853]

Just curious, but what arrangement was it? Micheal Brown? Houseknecht?

[@doesitreallymatter3239]

Yeah my bands playing it too I don't actually have a part (we have too many percussionists) but our biggest problem with it is that we play it way too fast so our director made us all listen to a choir sing the piece

[@maddiacc]

The story behind this song and then what really happened to his church makes this song even more amazing. My band teacher gave us this piece and after a few plays, he played the choir version of it. Our band played much better after that. Prefer this version, too. Simply astonishing.

[@davidmueller3206]

As we enter Holy Week, we hear again *how* Salvation is created in the earth. God, our God, the Incarnate One, is crucified as the Lamb who carries away the sin of the earth, and then is placed into the earth to sanctify the graves of all who die in Him, until the Third Day, the Last Day, in which the earth itself is raised with Him to the glory He has prepared for us. With the sign of the Holy Cross in view, this is the music to be heard and believed as we stand at the graveside of those we love for whom we mourn, "but not as those who have no hope." (Jesus lives, and Levi lives in Him.)

Pavel Grigorievitch Tchesnokov (en russe : Павел Григорьевич Чесноков), né le 12 octobre 1877 (24 octobre 1877 dans le calendrier grégorien) à Vladimir et mort le 14 mars 1944 à Moscou est un compositeur, chef de chœur et professeur de musique russe. Il est l'auteur de plus de cinq cents œuvres chorales, dont plus de quatre cents œuvres de musique sacrée. Biographie Tchesnokov fait ses études musicales au conservatoire de Moscou, où il reçoit une formation instrumentale et vocale approfondie, comprenant neuf ans de solfège et sept ans de piano et de violon. Il étudie aussi la composition avec quatre ans d'apprentissage de l'harmonie, du contrepoint et de la forme. Ses maîtres au conservatoire sont Sergueï Taneïev et Mikhaïl Ippolitov-Ivanov. Ils influenceront le style de ses compositions musicales, essentiellement liturgiques et chorales. Vue de l'intérieur de la cathédrale du Christ-Sauveur de Moscou en 1883, par Fyodor Klages (1812-1890). À un âge encore jeune, Tchesnokov est déjà un chef d'orchestre et chef de chœur reconnu, dirigeant des formations comme la Société chorale Russe. Cette reconnaissance lui assure une place au conservatoire de Moscou où les grands compositeurs comme Tchaïkovski partagent avec lui leurs compétences et leurs connaissances. Il y fonde un programme d'apprentissage de la direction chorale, qu'il dirige de 1920 jusqu'à sa mort. À l'âge de 30 ans, Tchesnokov a achevé près de quatre cents œuvres chorales sacrées mais doit faire une pause dans la création d'œuvres liturgiques au moment de la révolution russe. Sous le régime communiste, toute création dans le domaine de l'art sacré est rigoureusement proscrite et Tchesnokov se tourne alors vers la musique profane. Il compose plus d'une centaine d'œuvres laïques et dirige des chorales laïques comme le Chœur de l'Académie de Moscou et le chœur du Théâtre Bolchoï. Pavel Tchesnokov est maître de chœur de la cathédrale du Christ-Sauveur de Moscou, lorsque celle-ci est détruite par le régime soviétique en 1933, au nom de la politique athée. Cet acte de destruction le choque au point qu'il cesse alors complètement d'écrire de la musique. Il meurt le 14 mars 1944. Son œuvre musicale L'œuvre de Tchesnokov est influencée par son maître Sergueï Taneïev. Ce dernier était non seulement compositeur, mais aussi un historien de la musique russe qui étudia notamment l'apparition, au xviie siècle, du chant polyphonique dans la musique liturgique russe. En effet depuis les débuts de la christianisation de la Russie en 988, et pendant les six siècles suivants, la musique sacrée avait été uniquement monophonique. Pavel Tchesnokov cherche à conserver les qualités de ce style musical traditionnel, tout en lui ajoutant celles de la polyphonie. Pavel Tchesnokov est l'auteur d'environ cinq cents pièces chorales, principalement des pièces religieuses et des transcriptions de chants traditionnels, y compris plusieurs cycles complets de la liturgie, des vigiles, des œuvres spécifiques (service commémoratif, cycle dédié à la Vierge, etc.), des arrangements de chants folkloriques, des chœurs chantant la poésie russe. Tchesnokov est considéré comme un des principaux représentants du « renouveau » («нового направления») de la musique spirituelle russe. Ses œuvres liturgiques donnent une intensité dramatique aux chœurs, à la fois archaïsante et inspirée par l'art dramatique de l'opéra. Il a écrit un traité, Gestion du Chœur (publié en 1940) qui est considéré comme un classique pour les chefs de chœur désirant expérimenter de nouvelles façons de développer l'art choral. Le livre de Tchesnokov recense une grande quantité d'œuvres chorales et est devenu une sorte d'encyclopédie des œuvres chorales russes.
