I wish I did have a recording of it, but it has yet to be performed. It should be performed some time next year for certain. I decided not to get too extreme with the range of tenor voices because I didn't want to take too much away from the prayerful mood of the piece. I would rather save the extreme tenor notes for something like a choral setting of the Gloria where the text demands more power and strength. Of course, I took the basses down to a low C# in this piece since it is typical of Russian choral music. I relied more on the occasional divisi and the harmonies to provide the desired intensity. This piece was inspired by Pavel Chesnokov's setting of this text as well as my own faith.
