———— —— 7 1 toto eat CHANTING PRITSTS. oe A SERVICE OF SONG NO HEARER CAN EVER FORGET. An Important Part of the Greek Church | of Russia The Baying, Bull-like Voices of Monks Intoning Prayers For the Czar, A Magnificent Tomb. The chant of the priests’ voices wis | the most striking thing that I emcoun- tered in my travels in Russia a year “ago. Never in any place have I heard musio at all like it. More like the cry of some great animal or the moaning ‘of a musical wind it seemed than hu- man tones. - Deep, strong, roaring, yet soft and melodious, it haunted me as no music had ever done. This intoning, | which forms so important a part of the Greek church in Russia, is performed by men who are chosen especially for the tremendous depth of their voices, | ‘to be need in intoming alome, not sing- | greater strength and depth, there is in the whole wide world no human sound like it. ~ There are only certain parts of the service that are thus {ntoned, such as ““Halleluiah, ’ “Lord have mercy,” “Lord, we pray thee,'’ “Grant this, O God,"’ but above all, ‘Save long, O God, the life of the cmar!” Over and over again are these words moaned, sighed and roared, like a varying wind, through the arches and galleries of the splendid churches of the most splendid country of the world. : There is a priest in the Church of St. . Saveur in Moscow who was pardoned and brought back from Siberia solely because of the extraordinary depth of the tones of his voice. These grest baying, bull-like voioes bring to their owners, it is said, a very income. The last purt of the serv- joe is always the loudest, and the last ' words, in a tremendous final roar, are always the petition to save long from death the czar. Unlike the Latin service of the Roman Catholic charch, the oom- mon people of Russias can much of the service of their church, we a part of it is in modern Russian and the rest in old Slavonic. . Thus that cry and felt by the bumblest subject in Russia - Although this intoning can be heard everywhere in the churches thropghout Rassias, the best example of it is per- haps in the famous Alexander monastery in St. Petersburg. At 4 o'clock every afternoon the priests’ chant can be beard there, and po traveler should miss this extraordinary spectacle. In the winter, when the higher classes are in town, there are long lines of ele- gant conveynnoes a the door, that have the fashionable Russian devo et. cheat But at all times of the year it is » resort not pekt, the Fifth avenue of St. Peters- burg. In the green inclosure there are many buildings connected with the monastery, bat it was to the chapel where the monks chant the evening service that we first directed our steps one afternvon late in June: Far back in black velvet caps aad long flowing veils, all of black, magnified their beight and their imposing appearance. Their beards were long, apd heavy locks of hair hung like thick manes on their shaoplders. : They were already chanting, when ‘we entered, in those peculiar organlike tones which - I found the most impress- ive thing in Russia How that strange volume of sound moaned and rose and ‘fell throughout the structure! How it wailed in cur ears, like a mighty wind, and always, whether loud or soft, in the saddest, swoetest melody! There were half recitative solos, chanted first by one voice and taken up by the others ‘they waifed and moaned until it seem- ed as if the sound would never again leave my ears. After a time it ceased, and then the procession of towering black robed monks came out into the body of the chapel, leaving but little room for us as we crowded ourselves against the wall. Placing themselves with their backs toward us and their faces toward | the sitar in a semicircle, they began A Beech Creek rai.road two-day round again their chant, in a different and much louder refrain, ‘God save long | the life of the emperor!’’ Never shall 1 . forget that semicircle of black monn- mental figures nor the waves of sound that still vibrated on the air after their _ volves had ceased. We turned away and walked ncross the green courtyard, where many rich Russians are buried. All Russians es- | Gazette, ‘ that ‘teem it 8 sacred privilege to be buried in the soil surrounding a monastery, and among those who lie here is the novelist Turgenefl. We traversed nu- merous cloisters, with now and then the tall, ‘black veiled monks passing us, until we reached the cha; of Alexan: der Nevsky, the czar monk who lies buried here—buried in such a tomb as no other man ever had, for it is of solid silver, weighing 3,250 pounds. Not only the sarcopbagus but the altar near which it stands and also the rails which .surround it are of solid silver. A like- ness of tho great czar, who was also a . monk, lies on top under a sheet of solid gold. Diamonds abd rubies gleam in ‘the sconces that hang here and thers, | and the key of Adrianople, framed in - jewels, hangs near the silver tomb - Strange mingling of austerity withsplen- . dor is this wonderful chapel!
