O, presladkiy i vseshchedriy Iisuse. Composed by Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov. Musica Russica #CN 269. Published by Musica Russica (MR.CN-269).

This piece is part of the choral cycle In Days of Battle, opus 45, written in the difficult early days of World War I. Chesnokov fashions a sacred concerto from a prayerful appeal to the Lord Jesus, drawn from an ancient prayer dating back to at least the 13th century. With great effect, the composer mixes Russian folkstyle polyphony and a modal tonality in the opening phrases with massive blocklike harmonies and imitative motives. Emotionally intense, this colorful choral piece represents some of Chesnokov's finest writing, as the composer was honing his compositional skills as a graduatelevel student at the Moscow Conservatory.
