about

Ангел вопияше is a Pascha (Easter) song of the Orthodox (Byzantine) church. The melody was composed by Ф. Макаров and the author of this Pascha canon (lyrics) was John of Damascus (or John Damascene, Greek: Ἰωάννης ὁ Δαμασκηνός, romanized: Ioánnēs ho Damaskēnós. This saint, who lived at the turn of the 7th to the 8th century. He was a praised hymnmaker, theologian, philosopher and father of the Church. During the time of the iconoclastic heresy in Byzantium and the cruel persecution of the authorities against the admirers of the Orthodox icons, John Damascene zealously defended his positions.

The saint is known as the creator of the Octoechos (from the Greek: ἡ Ὀκτώηχος), a liturgical book with a system of eight voices (certain melodic turns), which alternately changed every week. This system was later adopted by the Russian Orthodox Church along with other Byzantine traditions. According to church tradition, this Pascha canon is sung in its entirety, without a reader, with its own special festive chant (melody) and is performed this way until the holiday is over.

lyrics

Church Slavonic
Ангел вопияше Благодатней: Чистая Дево, радуйся, и паки реку: Радуйся! Твой Сын воскресе тридневен от гроба и мертвыя воздвигнувый: людие веселитеся.

Светися, светися Новый Иерусалиме, слава бо Господня на Тебе возсия. Ликуй ныне и веселися, Сионе. Ты же, Чистая, красуйся, Богородице, о востании Рождества Твоего.


Russian
Ангел возглашал Благодатной: Чистая Дева, радуйся! И снова скажу: Радуйся! Твой Сын воскрес в третий день из гроба и мертвых воскресил. Люди, торжествуйте!

Светись, светись, новый Иерусалим — слава Господня над тобою взошла! Ликуй ныне и красуйся, Сион! Ты же радуйся, Чистая Богородица, о воскресении Рожденного Тобой.
