#OtcheNash
Otche Nash-the Lord's Prayer, also called the Our Father (Latin: Pater Noster), is a central Christian prayer which, according to the New Testament, Jesus taught as the way to pray. It appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Nowadays, the Lord's Prayer is used in every service of the daily cycle in the Orthodox Church and in every liturgical rite performed (Matthew 6:9-13). This exposition of the prayer "Our Father" was written by Nikolai Kedrov Sr. in 1922 in exile in France and published posthumously there in 1949.
N. Kedrov Sr. (1871-1940) was a Russian opera and chamber singer (baritone), Orthodox composer and music teacher, creator of the Kedrov Quartet (first in Russia, then in exile, in France). The basis of the ensemble's repertoire in exile was the liturgical hymns of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Kedrov Sr. is one of the founders of the Russian Conservatory in Paris and the author of a number of church hymns. As a composer, he was the successor of a specifically Russian musical direction, the basis of which was laid by M. Glinka, and then the musicians of the Mighty Bunch continued. In these traditions, he created works for his Kedrov Quartet.
📌 Lyrics:
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 today our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
Without a doubt, each of us had our own motivation to join the Russian choir. But we offer you a quote from one of the members of our choir, which unites us to some extent and explains a little the meaning of the choir in our lives: "Singing the music of the YRC in the style we sang it, was an antidote to the intellectualism that got many of us into Yale in the first place, but that could be so restrictive to the heart and spirit".
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to KZread, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music 🌿
