The Russian version, Kol' slaven, sets the poetry of M. M. Kheraskov (1733–1807), a Mason. The hymn was first associated with Freemasonry in Russia, but its popularity quickly grew. It became an unofficial national anthem until it was superseded by Lvov's “God save the Tsar.� Except during the Soviet period (1917–1991), Kol' slaven has been used in Russia at public gatherings and military ceremonies such as the christening of ships, lowering or raising of the flag, and at military funerals. Kol' slaven also became popular among émigré Russians and has been associated with Russian emigration in many countries.

The singing of hymns with multiple verses in chorale style is not a part of Russian Orthodox worship. For this reason, Bortniansky's hymn is not considered liturgical in the Russian Church but is used mostly for secular ceremonies. The language of the hymn is Russian (although with several archaic words and word endings) rather than the language of Russian Orthodox worship, Church Slavonic. In Germany, the hymn is used not only in worship but also for military ceremonies and is occasionally sung as a prelude to the German national anthem.

This scholarly performance edition includes extensive notes concerning the history of Bortniansky and this piece, performance notes, the editorial method of the English singing version, and a pronunciation guide for the Russian transliteration.

By Various. By Michael Korb and Ulrich Roever. Arranged by Eric Weber. 21st Century,A Cappella,Celtic,Chamber,Christian,Irish. 5 pages. Eric Weber #1068084. Published by Eric Weber (A0.1491345).

Highland Cathedral is a popular tune for the Great Highland Bagpipe, composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland Games held in Germany. It has been proposed as a Scottish national anthem to replace the unofficial anthems Scotland the Brave and/or Flower of Scotland. In this arrangement for four voices (SATB) you will hear the spirit of the Scottish Highlands and feel the sea breeze on your face. The arrangement builds slowly from a bourdon fith to a tutti choir and should be sung in a church with plenty of reverb for maximum effect.

Highland Cathedral ist eine Dudelsackmelodie, die von den Deutschen Ulrich Roever und Michael Korb 1982 in Deutschland komponiert wurde. Als Hymne für die Highland Games in Deutschland geschrieben, begeisterte sie auch die Schotten, die sie als Nationalhymne vorschlugen. In diesem Arrangement kann man die Atmosphäre der schottischen Highlands hören und die Meeresbrise auf der Haut spüren. Das Arrangement baut sich langsam von einer Bordun-Quinte zu einem Tutti-Chor auf und sollte für maximale Wirkung in einer Kirche mit viel Hall gesungen werden.
