if feel like I may have asked this before but where did your username come from?

so basically I was bored as hell during middle school math, and because fidget spinners were all the rage at the time, I was staring at one while it spinned. And then I hallucinated this username in the blur of the spinner.

So BASICALLY it was a vision given to me by the fidget spinner spirits.

"Единородный Сыне" (муз. иеромонаха Нафанаила)

Can any Russian speakers translate what this means? Either way, I enjoyed this work and will continue my exploration of Russian choral music throughout the centuries. The unique style of Eastern Chant, which probably began with a Jewish influence (listen to cantillation in the synagogue) has enthralled me for years, particularly in how Russian choral music does not require an orchestral accompaniment. And so you get these wonderfully rich movements of four-part harmony (and before that, the fourths and fifths from Eastern Orthodox Chants), often with the added thrill of oktavism.

Cherubic Hymn - Χερουβικός ύμνος - Херувимская песнь

Listen to the oktavist(s) in this hauntingly beautiful chant, particularly that last note. This is sung by the Optina Pustyn Male Choir.

"We Praise Thee" (Better Audio) - St. Petersburg Chamber Choir (oktavist, Vladimir Pasyukov)

The power of oktavist Vladimir Pasyukov is astonishing!
