The final portion of the prayer has been set to music by some of the greatest composers of all time, including Tschaikovsy, Rachmaninoff, and Bortianovsky.

In typical Orthodox practice the choir sings one of these magnificent compositions while the Priest softly prays the entire prayer, the congregation sometimes following along in a service book or simply swept up in the grandeur of the music.

As a currently frustrated musician due to circumstance, I see the world and its presumptions pressing in without much pressing the other way. Maybe the world looks so big because my view of the Lord has gotten so small. But the glory of the Lord puts the boastings of the world to shame.
