Тебе поем (Tebe Poem) by Pavel Chesnokov (1877-1944) Sung by the choir at Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in Glendale, CA: Rebecca Asquino (soprano) Elizabeth Anderson (soprano) Ariel Pisturino (alto) Julia Aks (alto) Matthew Brown (tenor) A.J. Teshin (tenor) Scott Levin (baritone) James Hayden (bass) Norge Yip (bass) Conductor: Ron Barnett Тебе поем, Тебе благословим, Тебе благодарим, Господи, и молим Ти ся, Боже наш. We sing to you, we praise you, we thank you, O Lord, and we pray to you, our God This was our Communion Anthem on October 8, 2023, which we sang from the back of the church. There are no mics back there, so just sharing the livestream like I normally do would have sounded awful. The video for this was pulled from the Saint Mark's livestream of the 10 am mass, but the audio is from Norge’s phone (Norge is our glorious bass with the most beautiful lows that just reverberate throughout the entire building in this piece) Unfortunately, someone picked up Norge's phone, wondering if it had been lost, so there is an interruption toward the end of the piece. Not ideal, but this is one of my very favorite choral pieces, so I wanted to share it anyway even though it is not perfect. I hope you can enjoy it in spite of the gaffe Special thanks to Norge for taking the initiative to record on his own and for pairing his audio with the video from the livestream to make it possible to share this performance. He did all of the editing
