I googled to see if that particular canticle was ever a part of the mass. Apparently it wasn't, but I am twice blessed to have found your blog!<br />May our LORD bless you and keep you strong in His service!!David, son of Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570592423007548880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-63950054399830414762013-12-15T17:30:36.708-06:002013-12-15T17:30:36.708-06:00I love this one:

It is best to close your eyes when you listen to them, because they are not performed in a church setting, and the visual is, at least for me, distracting. The second one is sung by the famous Russian bass, Fyodor Shalyapin. Because of the age of the recording it seems to me to be not as listenable as the contemporary one, in spite of the fact that Shalyapin’s voice must have been magnificent. The music was composed by the 18th century composer A. L. Vedel. Today he is called a great “Ukrainian” composer, although during his lifetime that part of Russian was called Malorossia, or literally, Little Russia. In other words, when you hear Tchaikovsky’s “Little Russian Symphony”, it is by no means little; rather it is the “Ukrainian” symphony. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_si_XygFvE<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU7h3AUheDY<br /><br />Peace and Joy!<br />George A.
