Dushe Moya. Composed by Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov. Musica Russica #CN 045WC. Published by Musica Russica (MR.CN-045WC).

My Soul, My Soul is a hymn sung during the first week of Orthodox Great Lent, in the middle of the Great Kanon of St. Andrew of Crete, a famous penitential poem dating from the late seventh or early eighth century.  The composer interprets the text using a rich Romanticera harmonic vocabulary, replete with chromaticism and dissonance, and expressive dynamic phrasing. This is a short miniature masterpiece that packs a lot of emotional power. In a concert setting, this work may be paired with Chesnokov's Open to Me the Doors of Repentance, another miniature Lenten gem.
