about

This is the famous choral work by Bakhmetev. The melody is a derivation of Sessional Tone 2. It is the Troparion of Holy and Great Saturday, sung three times at Vespers on Holy and Great Friday. I am singing it double time here for the practical reason of fitting it on my recorder's memory but I though it would be good to hear it.
This English arrangement is by my local church's cantor, the Compiler.

lyrics

The words are the Troparion of Holy and Great Saturday which is the first half of the standard Sessional Troparion Tone 2:
Here the translation is:

Joseph, a noble of Arimathea came, taking Your most pure body down from the Tree. He enwrapped it in a shroud of pure linen, and then, covering it with fragrant spices, laid it in a new tomb.
