If you have never had the opportunity to listen to the music of D. Bortniansky,
please access this video; you will certainly not regret doing so. This Ukrainian
national composed a series of cherubic hymns that are unsurpassed for their
spacious composition. His style is unmistakably Ukrainian! You may wonder
what exactly is a cherubic hymn? It is the “song of the angels” that is sung
in the Divine Liturgy after the Gospel reading to herald the “Great Entrance
(cherubic hymns are not sung on Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday). The
paintings of people entering and leaving a church are by a Ukrainian
artist, Fedorovich Kolesnikov. The spoken Russian introduction before
the singing commences is: “Dmitri Bortniansky. Cherubim Hymn No. 7”.
