Nikolaja / Church of St. Nicholas Dmitri Garkavi (tenor, duduk, gusli / tenor, duduk, gusli) Roman Shakhov (tenor, tamburin) Dmitri Lushnikov (bas, koliosnaya lira) Roman Kholodov (bariton, flavta, hatamba / baritone, flute, hatamba) Liubov Shagalova (alt / alto) Svetlana Sazhina (sopran / soprano) Velik del programa zasedbe Svetilen se vrača v čas pravoslavne glasbe med 16. in 18. stoletjem. A to ni liturgična glasba. Glasba skupine Severin je glasba menihov v njihovih celicah ter pravoslavnih vernikov, ki so slavili pravoslavne praznike. V času Sovjetske zveze, še posebej po oktobrski revoluciji leta 1917, se je njihova glasba izgubila, obudili pa so jo šele v zadnjih 20-ih letih in tako ponovno omogočili njeno petje. Zasedba Svetilen je za njeno interpretiranje dobila blagoslov od samega škofa. Program sestavljajo nabožni cerkveni napevi, posvečeni Našemu Gospodu, Sveti Materi Božji, različnim svetnikom in pravoslavnim praznikom. Nosijo različen značaj in izhajajo iz različnih dežel in pokrajin. Avtorji so neznani. Dmitri Garkavi je te pesmi aranžiral v izvorni različici stare Rusije, v značilni obliki pravoslavnega petja, t.i. belim in odprtim zvokom, ter z značilnimi glasbili. A large part of Svetilen’s repertoire consists of orthodox music dated between the 16th and 18th centuries. However, it does not represent liturgical music. Their music is the one sung by monks in their cells and by orthodox people in order to celebrate the orthodox holidays. In the times of the USSR, especially after the revolution of 1917, their music got lost and forgotten and has only been brought back to light in the last 20 years, which enabled people to sing it again. Svetilen got the blessing directly from the Bishop to re-sing these songs. The programme consists of sacred spiritual chants dedicated to Our God, Holy Mother, different saints and orthodox holidays. They have different character and they origin from different countries and regions. The authors are unknown. Dmitri Garkavi arranged some of the songs in authentic manner of ancient Russian singing, the so-called open or white sound, and with instruments of that time.
