I found some great Choral Music Videos I would like to share. Not only are the wonderful to listen to but also they sucked me into the world of Chekhov. Some is more intense then others, but I tried to include a wide variety.

-Rachmaninov (1873-1943) with video collage of both old and modern Russian footage

-Video of a Funeral Service for a Russian Choral member cut in with amazing footage of Russian Cathedrals both exterior and interior. An amazing video although it is almost 8 minutes long. The singers are the Male Choir of St. Petersburg and although this specific group was not formed till 1993, they have a great tone about them.

Apparently these are the lowest choral voices in the world. The video is short and has great pictures of old Russia that are very helpful. The choral music is very old and sometimes turns into a kind of chant, but the sounds are amazing.
