Tchaikovsky adapted the text from the Russian Orthodox Liturgy service. | |||
The Cherubikon is the usual Cherubic Hymn sung at the Great Entrance of the Byzantine liturgy. The hymn symbolically incorporates those present at the liturgy into the presence of the angels gathered around God's throne. | The Cherubikon is the usual Cherubic Hymn sung at the Great Entrance of the Byzantine liturgy.
