Description
One can see the manuscript on this video which was used by me to decipher the polyphonic score.
This is the first and only performance of this masterpiece. The music was composed in early XVIIIth century in Moscow by anonymous court musician of Tsar Peter the Great.
The disciples went up into the mountain for the Lord's ascension and, the Lord standing before them, they worshipped Him. Taught by His authority, they were sent to all nations to preach His Resurrection from the dead and entry into heaven. Christ, our God and Savior and the salvation of our
souls, promised faith fully to be with them for ever more.
