The King's Singers - Otche Nash (Nikolay Kedrov) 

Wow! I love the kings singers very much, and as a russian hope, that they will visit our counry.

As someone who has sung this in Church at Divine Liturgy, this is simply masterful, you guys. I liked how the bass hit some lower octave notes than the ones written (“nashim” and “Amin”) and I could’ve had more bass overall. I really love it when the bass in Russian music just rattles hearts and windows! I wish there was some way to get you all to come sing an all-night vigil or divine liturgy at my church here in St Louis! And kudos for doing so well with those Slavonic sounds!

WOOW! im shocked! I just went back from Church Service and we sing this prayer EVERY Sunday Liturgy in Orthodox Church!!!! But i prefecr Sretensky Monastry version!!!!! GOOD JOB THOUGHT

Потрясающее исполнение! Слышно каждую партию! Спасибо большое !!!!!🙏

Thank you for this divine performance!! Please know that it really captures the essence and meaning of the piece, the lyrics, the sanctity...may you keep singing for many years!

Обалдеть, какой правильный подход к звуку!!!! Спаси Вас БОГ!!!! Просто невороятное исполнение!!!!

I am stunned by the quality of singing. It is both beautiful and profoundly moving. Thank you for sharing this. 1:53 is a point at which it feels like angels have descended to sing on earth.... simply exquisite.

As a native Russian speaker I'd like to say, that the King's Singers Russian is very convincing! upd: yes, technically it is church slavonic, but still, it is very close: if you translate this prayer to modern Russian, no roots would change, only endings and a couple of conjunctions

Удивили очередной раз - молитву на русском языке проникновенно спели. Спасибо.

What I find so interesting in following the music is seeing how little movement there is in each part and yet as they relate to each other you hear movement and complexity. It goes to prove, once again, how beautiful and complex simplicity can be.

Отче наш, Иже еси́ на небесе́х! Да святи́тся имя Твое́, да прии́дет Ца́рствие Твое, да будет воля Твоя, я́ко на небеси́ и на земли́. Хлеб наш насу́щный даждь нам днесь. и оста́ви нам до́лги наша, я́коже и мы оставля́ем должнико́м нашим. и не введи́ нас во искушение, но изба́ви нас лука́ваго. Амин. Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie. Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

This is my favourite composition of the Lord’s Prayer. It’s one of my favourite to sing. I’m Orthodox and I have sang this rendition on many Sunday’s. It is such a fluid and emotional version.

Красиво, и благоговейно! Так и продолжайте!!!

It was only when I saw "khleb nash" that I realized it was the Our Father. How very beautiful! Спасибо!

so beautiful! amazing that you were able to be so perfectly blended while in different homes!?! Your sound engineer played a great part, i'm sure, but what a beautiful blend!

Thank you King Singers for helping me learn the Slavonic version of "Our Father." This is truly a lovely version and their singing is the best.

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks a lot for this wonderful chant! My best wishes from Russia.

PL. Dziękuję serdecznie, za to wspaniale wykonanie Modlitwy Pańskiej.

Молодцы! Произношение очень чёткое хорошо постарались выговорили все, что было написано, но конечно же сильный акцент😀.

Heel mooi, God zij jullie nabij. Zijn Koninkrijk zal komen, Zijn wil geschieden.

Russian diction was great! Please do more of the fabulous Russian choral rep. Noëlle Mann's edition of Russian Sacred Music is a great place to look.

This is one of the most poignant and lovely pieces of music I've heard this group do.

Feel like in a small Russian village in church :-) this is just wow.. 😍😳

I am Czech and I understand almost 90% of the text in Czech it is called "Otce Nas" we are Slavic, our language is Slavic same like Russians, Polish, Serbs, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Belarusians and I am sad, when I see the war in Ukraine and killing Slavic nations, we should keep together as a Slavs and not go against each other, we have same roots, we are Slavic brothers!!!! Let us united Slavic brothers against Anglo -Saxons and Germans who always wanted us as slaves! Hope God will see the same and let us one day live in peace and united Slavic brothers!

Absolutely fantastic. Beatiful music perfectly executed. King's Singers, as usual, Numero 1. Ciao from italy. PS: the final Bass note is unbelieveble. Speachless.

Отлично..👏👏👏👏👏

When there are four voice parts (like above) how do the six of you divide them?

Wow. My son just chose choir as his music elective for 5th grade and I was looking for videos where there was a score as well as lyrics he could start following along with. And I came upon this after watching Down to the River to Pray. Simple, lush and moving. It took me back to when I first heard the Rachmaninoff Vespers for the first time. Kings Singers - you have a real chance to impact choral music education with this format. Start a series - tiered by level. It doesn't even have to be music you would perform. I would pay $$ for this. In the meantime, thank you!

2+ minutes of pleasure! Thank you. Definitely you need to turn to russian choir music, especially late 20 c., as there a lot of hidden treasures.

the sound is great! but unfortunately the piece does not have the intensity of a continuous flow as is the case in Russian orthodox singing. One should not end (take a breath) after each phrase ! that is very important

Acongojantingly beautiful. God bless the new King's Singers

Hervorragend interpretiert! Ihr seid Spitze Männer!

Amazing... beautiful... we will be singing it at our wedding...

Merci merci merci ! En union de prière pour nos frères et soeurs russes

I love that I can see the score and sing with you! Beautiful voices!!

Chanter avec les "King's Singers" ! Quel bonne idée, j'ai l'impression de faire partie du groupe ! Mais quand est-ce qu'on va vous revoir en France à Lyon ou à Paris ? En attendant vous êtes formidables et c'est un plaisir de vous écouter !!

Adding the wonderful humility of heart which allows us to sing more beautifully - even in a heavenly way. Perfect pitch allows this combination of sounds, but the one heart joined makes this a perfect combination of heaven and earth...

Аминь! ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastisch, absolut Gänsehaut!

choked up---these harmonies so well done just burrow deep into my beingl

We sing that frequently at compline in Savannah, but in English.

I hope all Russian will listen and stop the war in Eukraine.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - that brought a tear to my eye. How very beautiful indeed! 🙏🏼 I’ll have to see you in concert once the plague is gone.

Ochen xhorosho tavarishchi! Seeing the choice of endings coming up, I wondered which you were going to do - then you surprised me by doing neither!

Superrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My high school choir class sang this in modern Russian pronunciation!

Браво! Perfect! СПАСИБО. Thanks.

*UTTERLY SUBLIME* yet again KS, sending our spirits soaring skyward, lifting the gloom of these weird times and soothing many weary souls.. Pure unadulterated bliss.. Thank you Chaps, another gorgeous post for us all to listen, watch and enjoy.. Best wishes from Wales..

Deepest Amen ever heard! Bravo Jonathan! Beautiful!

Ohhhh... My heart cries with grateful tears! Absolute harmony! Amazing! Heaven will certainly hear this prayer! Thanks a lot! Большое спасибо!

We travel with a carabiner clip and clip several backpacks together whenever we put them down, that way they can't pick up one and run, it's actually saved as many times... Especially being snatched on trains....

눈물나게 아름다운 곡입니다. 눈을 감고 듵으면, 유럽 어느 시골 성당에서 듣는 기분이여요. 감사합니다 킹스싱어즈님들 👍👍👍

Это не вы пели в саундтреке сериала "Викинги"?

Неожиданно. Молодцы

it really helps me to improve my sight reading. Thanks, Kings!

nice performance, King Singers, vocally! What is odd and wrong though is these huge gaps between the phrases you do, which ruins the beaty of the piece's continuity. to improve the singing of this particular piece (and to remember this for other Ortodox Christian music you may wish to perform), please use staggered breathing. in the scores you use, a few places mark breathing where it should not be happenig at all. A good exumple is perhaps this one to listen to: Otche nash - "Schola Cantorum Riga". Good luck!

Thank You For This Beautiful Gift Of Music Gentlemen 🎵

Gostaria de saber a tradução da letra. Canto profundo e maravilhoso. Vocês tem a minha admiração! Eu vivo em São Paulo, Brasil. Longe de vocês mas sigo vocês e amo ouvir. Parabéns 👏👏👏

It just an amazing interpretation. So sweet. Thanks guys! Blessings to you. Regards from Venezuela.

Beautiful song, and performance.

Perfect execution as always but also high quality of comments...Thank you all...

Thank you very mach! I sang with you. Sing more Russian sacred music, please.

Amazing work! Only can mension, it's more natural in exact orthodox christian choir singing tradition to fasten quarters forward from syllable to syllable, leaning on whole notes. Somewhat like gregorianic rythmic system works in catholic tradition.

Oh my goodness!

Thank you for spiritual singing! God help us all to return to stage and performances!!!

Im a native russian and I must say their pronunciation is fairly undarstandable, good job!

Beautiful. I've had the privilege of singing some portions of the Rachmaninoff Vespers with our choir & there's just something about sacred music sung in Russian that's so moving.

*Doa Bapa Kami* Bapa kami yang di surga, Dikuduskanlah nama-Mu, Kerajaanmu datang, Jadilah kehendakmu, Sama seperti di langit dan di bumi. Roti harian kami, beri kami hari ini, Dan ampunilah hutang kami, Seperti yang kita maafkan kepada penghutang kami.Dan janganlah membawa kami ke dalam pencobaan, Tapi bebaskan kami dari si jahat. Karena milikmu adalah kerajaan dan kekuatan dan kemuliaan selamanya. *Amin* ___________________________________________________ *Отче наш* Отче наш, сущий на небесах, Да святится имя Твое, Да приидет Царствие Твое, Да будет воля Твоя Так же, как в небе и на земле. Хлеб наш насущный дай нам на сей день, И прости нам долги наши, Как и мы прощаем должникам нашим. И не введи нас в искушение, Но избави нас от лукавого. Ибо Твое есть Царство и сила и слава во веки. *аминь*

Schön gesungen, aber viel zu brav. Für dieses Lied braucht es slawische Stimmen. Hört euch mal das Stück vom Swetolaw-Obretenow-Chor aus Sofia an, dann versteht ihr, was ich meine.

Потрясающе! Amazing ortodox christian song. Sound like in a my own (Russian) church

Congratulations for all involved in this process. I am surprised with the quality of audio. Could you give, please, some details about this awesome sound? If you used condenser microphones, for example ;)

Bravo! By the way, what language is that?

Nicely blended but lacks emotion and the low C at the ending.

since we learned this song in our choir it has become one of my favorites .... ... and I sing the low C ...😃😃😃

This is beautiful and uplifting - thank you so much

bellísimooo

THAT DISSONANCE IN MEASURE 11 IS EVERYTHING AHHH SO GOOD

siete bravissimi!!!!!

More please. So fun to follow along and try each part

Een hele mooie uitvoering van het bekende Otche Nash.

Superbe ...mais on entend trop les respirations ....ça gache le reste...

Lindo. Ribeirão Preto, Brasil.

This is hauntingly beautiful--thank you!

I'm from Russia. Thank you!

I am just so moved by this music. It is all I can do to hold back the tears.I truly enjoy that you post music together with your voices. That way I can follow along. Keep posting please BRAVO

What A Blessing Of Music Gentlemen🎵

Prelepo pevanje

A little too luxurious. It's supposed to be prayer.

Erg mooi! Heel ontroerend.

This sounds more like ukrainian, so if it is Church Slavonic that would make sense

Da applausi !!! Grazie !!!

Sipes Forks

Isso conforta o meu coração. Maravilhosos

Beahan Corner

A gorgeous presentation of a beautiful setting. Bravo!

Uplifting....Thank you.

I had found one recording of this years ago, and struggled to find a newer recording. Well, this is like an answered prayer

Я из России!Спаси,вас Бог!!!

It's there an English translation? Thanks

Wonderful the game of voices for this singing.
