The Cherubic Hymn, or song of the angels, accompanies the solemn Great Entrance of the clergy in the Russian Orthodox Church. Tschesnokoff 's original version of this ancient monastery melody was written for four part chorus. The mood created, similar to his well-known Salvation is Created, is one of beautiful expression. This arrangement for concert band allows the many tonal colors and expansive range and power of the wind band to reimagine this glorious music.
