Here is a song I wrote in Old East Slavic, performed by me and my wife. This time, we are singing about St. Vladimir the Great, a member of the famous Rurikid dynasty of the Kievan Rus and the first Christian Grand Prince. He established a large domain spanning large swathes of modern Ukraine and Russia, from Kyev to the Baltic.
Vladimir is a saint venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. After sending envoys out to see the religions of the world, Vladimir decided to convert to Christianity. His envoys, having seen Constantinople, famously said: “We knew not whether we were in Heaven or on Earth ... We only know that God dwells there among the people, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations.” Doing so also allowed him to marry the beautiful Princess Anna of the Byzantine Empire. After his conversion, he had many churches built. He is also the leader credited with the Christianisation of the Rus. He admired and was influenced by the Byzantines greatly, which I have tried to convey in both the lyrics and music style.
There isn’t much out there in Old East Slavic and I’ve always wanted to try writing and performing a whole song in it. I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.

Note: Lots of people are saying his name is Volodymyr, or at least not Vladimir. I know it's anachronistic in a way to call him Vladimir, but that's how he is known to us in the Anglosphere. Any article or book before 2022 called him as such, it's just the way it is. I mean no disrespect to anyone with the choice of names used in the subtitles. Anyway, here is a song I wrote in Old East Slavic, performed by me and my wife. This time, we are singing about St. Vladimir the Great, a member of the famous Rurikid dynasty of the Kievan Rus and the first Christian Grand Prince. He established a large domain spanning large swathes of modern Ukraine and Russia, from Kyev to the Baltic. Vladimir is a saint venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. After sending envoys out to see the religions of the world, Vladimir decided to convert to Christianity. His envoys, having seen Constantinople, famously said: “We knew not whether we were in Heaven or on Earth ... We only know that God dwells there among the people, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations.” Doing so also allowed him to marry the beautiful Princess Anna of the Byzantine Empire. After his conversion, he had many churches built. He is also the leader credited with the Christianisation of the Rus. He admired and was influenced by the Byzantines greatly, which I have tried to convey in both the lyrics and music style. There isn’t much out there in Old East Slavic and I’ve always wanted to try writing and performing a whole song in it. I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.

It is not in Old East Slavic, it is in Church Slavic (it had local versions over countries), which was same as Latin for Catholics. There never existed such language as "Old East Slavic", it's a wrong, factually weak linguistic theory of Soviet times, but it had high popularity due to heavy Soviet propaganda, affecting western Slavists much too, although they never were educated enough in these areas anyway, western development of that knowledge was limited due to lack of access to Eastern Europe in 20-th century. You must read fundamental works of George Shevelyov, who is one of the most famous Slavists ever, to see that nations controlled by Rus'/Kyivan empire spoke different dialects, Slavic ones originated strictly from Proto-Slavic, and Finnic/Baltic were of own roots, and there was no singular folk tongue beyond Church language, used in official communication. For instance, actual national dialects were those that afterwords formed: 1) currently so called "Belarusian" (actually Kryvian, by tribal name; "Belarus" is an artificial 18-th century empirial political term, Kryvichy didn't have much relevance to Rus. 2) current Ukranian (actual Ruthenian/Rus language, respectively to historical geography). Later, basically mix of juridical Kryvian and Ruthenian became official language of GDL. 3) currently dead Novgorodian - tongue of colonists who established Novgorod in 10-th century in Finnic lands. Linguistically connected to Lechitic group and Ruthenian (i.e. Kyivan tongue). 4) tongue of colonists of northern Tver-Suzdal region, confusingly known as "Russian" in modern era due to obvious causes of political history.

I would just like to add that the language of this song's liryc is in Old East Slavic, meanwhile Polish stems from Old West Slavic, so the difference is grater than, let's say, between Old East Slavic and Russian.

Ok this is an amazing song, already my favourite one from yours. It drips with so much atmosphere it's insane. And I love the pronunciation. I myself just use modern Russian or Ukrainian pronunciation to sing Old East Slavic, so to hear it pronounced with all those nasal sounds and authentic phonetic aspects here is a real gift. I'm no linguist but I'm gifted enough with an ear for accents that if someone were to tell me you're a native Slavic speaker, I wouldn't question it. I also love the very subtly "Eastern" feel to this one. It genuinely feels like Byzantine music's influence is emanating here, with the melody centred around that Aeolian/Phrygian semitone, and the vocal melismas like on the last syllable of "pobede" at 1:11. Whether intentional or not, it perfectly encapsulates the intrinsic relationship between the East Slavs and the Eastern Roman Empire at that stage in history.

Hey man, thanks a lot for this - great to see you pick up on some of the subtle aspects thrown in there.

It truly is a shame that the Ruikid Christian Russians dont receive (at least some) praise to the degree that their Catholic and Protestant cousins have for their protection of the faith. The Russ under Vladimir the great and thereafter ensured that Christianity did not die in the east to the competing Islamic Golden Horde and pagans in the vast wilderness.

Yet another wonderful song. I’m studying history in college and a practicing Catholic, so getting to enjoy music that appeals often to both is fun. Maybe do a song about the Anglo-Saxon martyr and king of East Anglia, Edmund the Martyr. There isn’t much out there source wise, but I suppose that gives you room for a bit of artistic license. The two most accepted accounts of his death either having him dying in battle against the Great Heathen army or being martyred afterwards by arrows.

The historic ties of russia and Sweden is often forgotten, or even blotted out. Rurik came from a land called Roslagen in Sweden, that’s how Russia got its original name. Finns called the Viking raiders “Ruotsi” heavily hinting that they have interacted with the Vikings coming from Roslagen.

@@user-qm4up7pb2k староукраинский это разве не язык грамот 14-15 века и позже "руськой метрики"? В описании написано Old East Slavic -- значит древневосточнославянский наверно. Гипотеза Шевельова про отдельное формирование восточно-славянских языков из праславянского имеет место, но она вроде не мейнстримная.

@@user-qm4up7pb2kкак тут и сказали, это не староукраинский, староукраинский это язык 15-16 века где-то. Это тогда уж древнеукраинский. Просто страна же Русью называлась, потому и говорят всегда именно древнерусский. Но, конечно, эта песня настолько же украинская, насколько и русская, и белорусская.

Wolodymyr the Great also had a scandinavian name as Waldemar Gamil. Also, what you know as "Russia" today has nothing to do with Ruthenia, as Ruthenia come from the anme of Rus, while "Russia" is a name given to Muscovy(Grande Tartaria) by germans in 18 century. While Ruthenia is a historical name for Ukraine. Name of Ukraine just became more popular in the start of 20 century.

Ещё Великий Государь Император Александр-1, когда освободил Париж, в войне с Наполеоном, в 1812-14 годах. Он сказал:мы Русские сыны Севера. Князь Владимир непервый Христианский Царь. До него были и Бравлин и Аскольд и Дир и другие. Он совершил государственное Крещение Руси. Да он из рода Викингов,как многие прямые из этнических Русских.. Спасибо вам!
