"the lascivious pleasing of a lute." It has been mentioned that a Lute player spends half his time tuning his instrument and the other half changing strings.

Maybe not exactly uplifting (unless “pulling up” could count as such) but I think it’s quite hilarious:

But this should be an uplifting thread.. this music is certainly uplifting to the hairs on the back of my neck ...
It’s Tchaikovsky but not as we know it.

This follows the Russian liturgical style, which is enhanced by the more open tone used, in contrast to the more covered sound of the Western Choral tradition. There is always something moving in Russian choral music.

Totally agree.. and the bass voices seem to go deeper than western choirs, am I imagining that? anyway there is certainly some quality that gets me in the tingles.

No, it is largely a question of timbre and open tone,although many Russian composers wrote parts for the Basso Profundo voice,common in Russia and Eastern Europe,but rare in the West. Some arrangers sometimes add an auxiliary Bass part two octaves lower than the Soprano melody and this creates the impression of greater depth.
