SAN O MIKROKOZMI | TESTAMENAT VLADIKE CRNOGORSKOG PETRA PETROVIĆA NJEGOŠA
It has been 174 years since Bishop Petar II Petrović Njegoš, foreseeing his impending death, composed his Testament – his last wish to deal with the property he was leaving behind and an expression of embracing the inevitable end of his short earthly life. For four decades, the Testament has been resonanting within the music of Rajko Maksimović.
Glory to You who revealed us the world!
I am grateful to you, Lord, for you deigned to take me out on the hill of one of your worlds and you chose to sodden me with the rays of one of your wonderful suns. Thank You, Lord, for You have adorned me on earth, above millions, in soul and body – as much as from my childhood Your unattainable greatness melted me into hymns of Divine joy, amazement and Your magnificence, so much I contemplated and mourned the poor destiny with horror – Your word created everything from nothing, everything is obedient to Your law, man is mortal and shall die.
With hope, I step towards Your divine sanctuary, whose bright shadow I viewed from the hill that my mortal steps measured – at Your call, I serenely go either under Your bosom, to dwell in eternal sleep, or to the immortal choirs, to glorify You for good and all.
