Yale Russian Chorus: T'eb'e, Boga, khval'im (We Praise Thee, O Lord), by Dmitri S. Bortniansky (1751-1825). This is a Slavonic setting of the Te Deum Laudamus (text ca. A.D. 414 by St. Niceta of Remesiana) and is one of the clearest examples of the European style in Russian church music. It is representative of the style that became popular in St. Petersberg in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The Ukrainian-born Bortniansky studied at the Court Choral Academy in St. Petersberg, where he was introduced to the latest trends in European music and the western-oriented cultural environment of the glamorous court of Catherine II (The Great). From 1769 to 1779 he lived and studied abroad; several of his operas were even staged in Italy. After returning to Russia, he was appointed Director of Vocal Music and Superintendent of the Court Choral Academy. 65th Anniversary Concert by the Yale Russian Chorus and Alumni. Sunday, October 14, 2018, Woolsey Hall, Yale University. Denis Mickiewicz, Conducto
