“It is amazing with what a deep sense of beauty this composition for church, choruses and cello is imbued” said Mstislav Rostropovich on first experiencing Chapter Eight. Basing the music on the Old Testament Song of Songs, The Song of Solomon, Russian composer Alexander Knaifel (1943-2024) conceived of Chapter Eight as a “community prayer” to be realized “in the most reverberant church acoustics.”
