"Вечная память" - "Eternal Memory"

"Вечная память"
Чесноков - Реквием № 2

Here I present one of my favourite chants, "Eternal Memory" from Pavel Chesnokov's Requiem No. 2, Op.39.

This is the closing solemn prayer from the Orthodox Requiem, which calls on God to keep the soul of the departed on His eternal memory, and, therefore, eternally alive.

Sung here by The Valaam Monastery Choir with the extra-ordinary & beautiful voice of Vladimir Miller as the Deacon.
