I'm back in my theology phase. What a wicked life! Have a few good songs as an apology for not posting the album review. It will come... eventually.

Dead - They Might Be Giants

2. All I Need - Radiohead

3. Goodnight - Breathless

Devasting.

4. Down In It - Nine Inch Nails

5. Walking Down Town - The Boomtown Rats

I legit can't stop humming this song to myself. It's like a disease & I don't want to be cured.

6. Superstar - Sonic Youth

7. Living Through Another Cuba - XTC

8. Let My Prayer Arise - Bortnyansky

9. Ode Le-Eli - Ofra Haza

10. True Faith - New Order

Sacred Concerto No. 34, "Da voskresnet Boh" (Let God arise): II. But let the righteous be glad —Dmitry Bortniansky, Valery Polyansk

Д С Бортнянский Покаяния отверзи ми двери, на Помощник и Покровитель

Would be grateful for a Russian speaker to translate this title. The only part I can read is the composer’s name, Dmitrii Bortnyansky. 

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

Enjoy the immense power of Dmitri Bortnyansky’s choral works here. This comes from Concerto 25, “We, the unworthy, shall not cease.” I have already shared a compilation of Bortnyansky’s sacred words, accessible here.  Upon glancing at the German Wikipedia page for this composer, I note that he had an influence on church music in Germany as well as Russia. Will be listening to more Bortnyansky and sacred works from other Russian composers.

Beautiful sacred works by Dmitri Bortnyansky (1751- 1825). Absolutely love the Russian and Slavic sacred choral tradition!

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

-- Psalm 43:5
