The Russian choral group Uleymafolk performs “The Paschal Troparion” as written by Vladimir Morosan, a Russian-American expert on Orthodox music and president of Musica Russica, a publishing house specializing in Russian sacred choral music, which explains that “the present setting of ‘The Paschal Troparion’ took shape in this composer’s mind, based on a pentatonic scale reminiscent of Appalachian folk songs and incorporating the open sonorities of shape-note singing … Indeed, a stylistic blending of musical elements that are recognizably ‘national’ and at the same time exhibit tangible ‘folk’ elements resonates in people’s hearts in a manner that is entirely appropriate (and traditional) for Orthodox Christian worship.” Sheet music is available for both Mixed Choir and Treble Choir.
