Blashen Mysh by Alexander Arkhangelsky — Lyrics
About Blashen Mysh
This powerful setting of Psalm 1 is ideal for Vespers services. Alexander Arkhangelsky’s choral work in Church Slavonic for SATB voices captures the spiritual weight of the text, which opens with the blessedness of those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked. The music likely reflects the text's contrast between the righteous path and the destruction of the ungodly, celebrating God’s knowledge of the righteous and their hope in Him. The recurring Alleluias add moments of intense praise and devotion. The piece culminates in a doxology and a final affirmation of God's salvation and glory, making it a profound choice for Lenten or penitential occasions within the Orthodox tradition.
