Orthodox liturgical chants are one of the revealed wonders. They are love and hope, energy and humility.

The Orthodox Church is the sky on Earth for a person who, staying in it, immersed in a special world and spiritually reborn. "In prayers and chants of church, throughout their space, the Holy Spirit of Truth is moving," said Sv.Ioann Kronstaddi Wonderworker. All that surrounds a person in the temple is filled with a mystical spirit and assumes the human spirit to inaccessible heights. The same purpose also serves a liturgical musical and singing art. The voice of man becomes a guide of God's grace and happily glorifies the creator, which is a wonderful symphony of heaven and earthly.

Church chants performed by Divna Luboyevich are perceived by a clear sign of prayer. Prayers to which all the nature of a believer person rushes, which acts as an honed sword in a daily battle with himself, which fills in special light and warms the heart.

The liturgical singing is called a sounding icon, it, like icon, reveals the essence of Orthodoxy. Orthodox chants performed by Divna Luboyevich and the Khora "Melody" create an image of Orthodoxy.

The ancient Byzantine and Serbian chants in the design of the divine and its team, recorded on CDs "Christ," "the best Easter songs of the Orthodox East", "Melodi", differ in particular iconicity. These melodies, spoke of the Sacred Name of Veniamin, Bishop Romanovsky, give "... Such a distant time, such a power of feeling, for which you will not change the other most fashionable tune melody of our time ...".

These ancient melodies will be a religious feeling at the listener, who recognizes in these heft of the Greek, Church-Slavic modern and church-Slavic pre-reform languages, what is in the soul of originally, from birth, which indicates a long time ago and "Well-fastened paths leading soul To the sky, to God. "

The singing of the divine is skillful, it hears and reproduces overtones that fill the earth's atmosphere with the musical sound. In the Orthodox tradition, such a phenomenon is called "Angelic singing". More common wicontal sound of men's voices. The wicontal sound of a female voice is rare and perceived as a purely elevated. Such singing gives the thrill and the joy of the soul.

The sound of liturgical chants performed by Divna Lyuboyevich and her choir testifies to the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Church, who said that in singing a person can pour out the delight and flight of the soul, will deny passion and everyday feelings. Melodies "Cratim" ("Terrera"). "Agni Parfena", "Aksa Estin", "Christ's Christ", "Anastseos Huhru" ask the bristle delight of godfest, which does not fit at the border of words, the feeling that directs the achievement of the Higher Christian ideal - Eternal Bliss.

- Divna, today you first visited Valaam and gave another delightful concert, please, please, your feelings about what is happening ...

I did not believe that I would be here. I thought about Valaam, as something completely unattainable for me. But when I turned to me with a proposal to become a member of the festival "Academy of Orthodox Music" and told the opportunity to visit Valaam, then in the soul, you know, the thrill was passed. Everything that I see here is amazing here, the nature is amazing, the concert is amazing. For me it was special and the fact that at the concert, I did not see almost a single monk, because each of them was engaged in his obedience at this time. It was also for me, in good sense, amazing. My feelings are now indescribable. It may be because for the first time, but the first time is, probably the most important.

- Have you first became a member of the "Academy of Orthodox Music"?

- How many concerts did you give within the framework of this festival?

Just two. The first concert was with St. Petersburian Chapel. And the second today, here on Valaam.

- Divna, could not tell me that he sent you to music in such an early age. Was this the desire of parents or something else played a role in your early musical formation?

First of all, it is not parents, because They were not professional musicians, although they sing. I think this is a gift. When I was small, I sang a lot, for me it was very natural. When I was 9 years old, we were with my parents in the women's monastery (I grew up in a religious family), where I heard the nun choir, and was amazed by their singing. This was the beginning of my singing in the church.

- You are going to travel a lot and speak around the world, could the concert, which made the most deep impression?

Yes of course. First of all, this is the Italian city of Bari. It was difficult to stop tears from sensations that visited the soul then. Unforgettable concerts were in France, and more recently, on May 24, in the concert hall of the Kremlin Palace. The noise of applause was so grandee, which is confessed, I even became scary at the time. It was a second concert. And the first one was a year ago, which was attended by His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, and today's president of Russia (then the Prime Minister) Vladimir Putin, which was for me, of course, is very important. We got a lot of flattering estimates for us, but, of course, the public reaction remains unforgettable. With the Russian audience, another Ukrainian may be compared. The way we took in Kiev is also impossible to forget: people sang right together with us, as it were, even for us, in response to us. - In Italy and France, did you advocate mostly before the Catholic spectators? In these countries, yes. But they, not even understanding words, feel and perceive us very well.

- I guess you love classical music?

Highly.

- Are your favorite composers?

From instrumental music, among the most beloved, this is definitely - Bach and Rachmaninov.

- What kind of tool do you own, besides voice?

Piano. And, unfortunately, only the piano. As a child, I really wanted to play a violin, but I had only the piano and therefore, it happened that so far I have not learned to play the violin.

- Divna, could you give advice to people novice vocalists in the classical direction?

It is very difficult. Maybe I even have no specific advice. Because if a person has a gift, talent, he will understand his way and will pass it. Each person makes himself with the help of God: the first one should want to make himself, and the second Lord will definitely help him if a person decided.
