Tchaikovsky - At Bedtime (Choral)

Tchaikovsky's Choral Works

[@arnoldronning5471]

Who else only recently discovered Tchaikovsky’s masterful choral music? I have enjoyed his orchestral music and violin concerto since childhood, but heard his choral music for the first time 3 years ago. Amazing! Sublime! Some of his countrymen accused him of being too European and not Russian enough. I think his choral works in particular prove them wrong. Thank you for posting!

A poem by Nikolay Ogarev. Here you have the translation by Emily Ezust in lieder.net The darkness of night brings silence And calls me to rest. It is time, it is time! My body asks for rest, for my soul is worn out by the whirlwind of the day. I pray to Thee at bedtime, God: Give peace to mankind, bless the sleep of my little one, and the sleep of the needy, And the quiet tears of love! Forgive our sins, and alleviate our burning pain with your soothing breath; And send your sad creatures again the sweet deception of dreams!
