Pokayania otverzi mi dveri. Composed by Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov. Musica Russica #CN 046WC. Published by Musica Russica (MR.CN-046WC).

Open to Me the Doors of Repentance may be regarded as the theme song of Orthodox Great Lent: it is first heard on the fourth preparatory Sunday before Lent begins and is then sung at Matins every Sunday thereafter. Using a rich harmonic vocabulary, Chesnokov creates an expressive, emotional vehicle for this powerful prayer of repentance. In a concert setting, this work may be paired with Chesnokov's My Soul, My Soul, another miniature Lenten gem.
