		While a few selections (such as 'The Angel Cried') portray the inconsolable grief upon the death of the savior, most celebrate the joyous news of the resurrection in exuberant and irresistibly festive tones.
		The Novospassky choir produces a virile, smooth, and quite often haunting sound - especially the ink-fl basses and the expressive (though anonymous) soloists.
		It's comforting to know that the great tradition of a cappella Russian choral singing was not lost under the iron-fisted rule of the brutal, atheistic commissars.
