"As according to God's sorrow, there the worshipers go. There they go, the candles are carried in the hands of the candles. "

In 2014, the Festive Patriarchal Male Choir of the Moscow St. Daniel Monastery turns twenty-five. In the repertoire of this collective there are more than eight hundred spiritual and secular songs.

"In a moment of life, there is a sadness in my heart, a melancholy one prayer, I recite a single prayer by heart".

They brilliantly perform not only church music, spiritual hymns and prayers, but also songs on verses of Russian poets and ancient romances.

"Burn, burn, my star, the love star is welcome. You are my one cherished, the other will never be. "

These songs unite people. They are about life, about the soul, about the brotherhood, about the Russian land. They are sung as if in one breath - with a continuous sound.

Our favorite folk songs performed by this choir sound amazingly sincere and heartfelt.

"It's not spring for me, not for me Don will spill over, and the heart of a girl's girl will beat with the delight of feelings - not for me."
